What did you do to your car today?

Changed the rear brake pads on the Audi, greased all the components and front and rear wheel bearings with Bel-Ray waterproof grease then drove her through the auto-wash. Getting ready to slap some vasaline on the wheels so this crap they put on the roads here to melt the snow doesn't eat the clear coat off the wheels. That's going to be interesting; walking into Walmart and only buying a big thing of Vaseline. My luck I'll get some hot chick running the register giving me a weird look...lol

I have a long list but haven't had time to post it.
Three weeks ago I installed NGK Iridium plugs ( '01 V70 ). I have 82k and I believe the Volvo ones were original by the looks of them. Of course, the difference is very noticeable.
Two weeks ago I replaced both front axles, struts, mounts and plates. Everything also looked original. There's a HUGE difference in ride quality.
One week ago I bought a black cargo cover and mat for the back on eBay and received those and installed them. eBay is great for cheap stuff.
This week so far, I've gotten a 4 wheel alignment and last night de-badged my car of all of my, let's call them, add-on badges and the V70 lettering, just leaving Volvo on the back.
The only things I have left I may do is change out the front grill to a black mesh one and maybe tint the windows. I've always wanted a blacked-out car and since the car is black, it's my time lol. I'm still debating whether to tint because of some road trips we are taking this year where I might want the light and the view.
Of course, black wheels are in the mix somewhere down the line, maybe later on in the year.
