It's a place up North of here where their greatest international claim to fame is bacon and where a tuxedo is comprised of a pair of blue jeans, a blue jean shirt, and a blue jean jacket and black sox.
EDIT......I forgot to add that it's the only place in the Americas where flannel is worth more per ounce than gold.

"The Canadian Tuxedo
The Canadian Tuxedo is the favoured outfit for young men and women on important occasions. Nothing says "I'm looking my best for you" like The Canadian Tuxedo. Wear it to your prom, for an important job interview, or at a relative's funeral. The Canadian Tuxedo is traditionally comprised of a pair of blue jeans, a blue jean shirt, and a blue jean jacket"

Why do they spell Canada the way they do?
So Canadian's can spell it: C-eh-N-eh-D-eh
Everybody loves Canada, or as I like to call it: The 51st state.
J/K. I love Canada (what I've seen of it.)
Of course, what I've seen of it looks like the inside of a strip club!

303 the Vinal (dash, etc.)
Change the diff fluid and tranny fluid while it's up.
Inspect the brakes while the wheels are off, bleeding the system couldn't hurt any.
Doublecheck the tire pressures in your summer tires.
Change the engine's air filter and the cabin air filter.
Urmil had a good idea for cleaning the undercarriage. Use an oscolating sprinkler under the car.

While you have the car up, and the wheels off.
Inspect the CV boots. Clean them and use a protectant/lubricant on them. Some kind of silicone based rubber conditioner.

So does anyone have a set of tasks they do when the springtime rolls around? My S is my daily driver, so once it warms up I want to do a detailed cleaning to get the winter off....
Here is what I was thinking:
-Wash
-Switch tires to summer tires
-While tires off, wash wheel well
-303 the top
-zaino the entire car/engine bay
-clean engine bay, scrub areas that need it more
-clean door jams and joints
-change oil
-put up on jacks and scrub areas under the car (exhaust, etc)
-vaccume all over
-leather cleaner/conditioner
what else am I missing?

had to chuckle about your vision of the 51 state. my vision of the other fifty is that you can't stop in fear of being jacked or shoot first and plead innocent and the common phrase heard throughout the land is "I'LL SUE YOUR ASS OFF" i guess we are considered friendly up here because we don't see too many people on the dog sled runs.
