So much for not buying a new car.

It would take a shit ton of convincing for me to get rid of the Disco for something else. At least with the LR I know what issues it's had, trading it for something else I would inherit whatever issues the new one has.

Disco is alive

Put some fresh gas in and it started right up.

Tried it again this morning and it fired right up. Whew! Insurance is back on today and Holly's going to renew the tags and I'll bring it home tonight.

I need to get the oil changed and give it a good bath, it is covered in dust. I've also got to fix the drivers window too, the mechanism broke to raise/lower it right before I got rid of the S4. Should be a relatively easy fix. I think.

Installed camber bolts, mounted and balanced other set of wheels/tires, flushed brake fluid, then got an alignment. I am ready for Blackhawk Farms this Sunday!

Have fun, but stay safe. Blackhawk can bite. Not NEARLY as bad as RA, but it's bears extra caution.

New window mechanism arrived today, so I'll give that a whirl replacing it tonight.

Also had to replace the drivers side wing mirror as it was busted, replaced that last night.

I've been driving the Disco everyday to see how it is, seems to be fine (knocks on wood)

New brakes might be in order as well, there's quite a bit of scoring on the rotors and the pedal seems soft. We shall see, I haven't decided if I'm going to tackle them myself or not yet.
