Stupid things happening on the 300

[Zymurgy]

I have got a few more of the exterior trim on the 300 but I have been enjoying driving it too. I went to put my louvers on the front fender and can't find my well nuts anywhere. I ordered new ones almost all the old ones where toast. I double checked that I ordered them and I did, so I gave up and ordered more. Now I will find the old ones for sure.

The other stupid thing I did was I was driving the 300 last night and when I punched the gas my oil light came on for a couple seconds and then went out. I knew I had plenty of oil I just checked it and it hasn't used a drop the first 500 miles I have driven it. It then hit me I never changed the oil after that first cold oil change that I performed when I first got her. I feel like an idiot. I changed the oil today it was very nasty and I am certain I pretty much plugged the filter.

I took her out again for lunch today punching the gas at every opportunity :3gears: and she drove like a dream. Hopefully I didn't do any real damage to her.

I'm sure you would have noticed on the dipstick if the oil was too nasty.

I put everything I put off on a larger scale resto in plastic bags with description then everything in cardboard boxes, never lost anything.

There may come up a couple mechanical issues while putting more mileage on with a car in storage for such a long time (IIRC you did not perform any mayor mechanical resto) but I never had any major trouble, just a few things like water pump or other leaks. I've been pretty lucky with that in the past.

I'm organized like that too. I have tons of parts in zip locks.
