Hey that's good news! After all the time and effort you've put into the car it'll be nice to see where things go from here.

The House! by Ryan Ponto, on Flickr

I like it but I don't even want to know how much it goes for, especially compared with my 545 sq ft 1 bedroom. I just saw my old place in Calgary is up for sale with nearly no gain in value over 4 years while places here have gained probably 40% over that same time frame

Well its not that Calgary didn't have any gains... they just lost them all this year, if you had of looked last year the prices would have been very different down there.

Edmonton's market has stayed pretty level, with only a few percentage drop in homes. Condos have seen a bigger hit though.

Definitely pour the extra on your pad now. You won't regret it later, and very costly to do so afterwards.

And yeah, I hear you about focusing on the house. Very little has been done on my project car because of adult priorities. Today I the g/f and I put in a bunch of work leveling concrete in the basement suite, on her birthday of all days. haha Trust me when I say, there's always something that will need your attention, whether you buy a new house or a fixer upper. Just when you thought car projects were expensive!

Adulting sucks some days.

Still gotta get some summer wheels for the A3 and did just get a bunch of little goodies - Interior LED's and Porsche Oil and Coolant caps just showed up lol.

Gave her a good wash and quick wax, but badly needs a polish

Re: The long road home - Intro and an epic road trip all for a car.

Oh yeah, even while being busy adulting I did still pick up a few small things for the car.



LED interior lights and a dual led trunk kit along with Porsche oil and coolant caps.

I had their stuff in my old A3, its quality for sure. My reverse lights are from them as well, crazy bright - 400 lumens or something. The trunk kit is custom, extends over and adds a second light on the right side of the hatch.



It's a bit pricier, but worth it in the long run.

Nothing new exciting... still gotta install all those damn LEDs haha
