I saw this on another site and figured to give it a try here at R4W. Pics are nice but not required. Tell us what you have done to your RAV4 today!

I'll start off first... I saw cat foot prints on my hood today. Decided I need to wash it this weekend.

I'll rotate the tires for the first time since I installed them.

Installed auto headlight sensor, and wiring.
I havent jumped into the turn signal switch yet.

Oooh, I just remembered what i want to do!
Wring out the wires for the mirrors, to see if the turn signal wiring is already there.

Changed my rear brake pads last night at 47,000 miles since my 45,000 mile oil change, Toyota Service told me I had 10% left on my pads which was total BS! There was probably atleast 15,000 miles left on them, but since I had them out, I just changed them.

I have watched her in my lunch break

( again )I can`t just keep my eyes off of her It`s been not even a month since I bought my Rav4, and also money is short these days, I`m just dreaming and planing on what I`m gonna do to her

By the way, you guys are doing terrific jobs on your RAVs

you keep me inspired

I stared at my Rav for a half hour and fantasized what it would look like with all the changes I have planned for it. Then I quick detailed it. Finally, I stared at it for another half hour.

I washed my Rav after 2 months of rains and some snow. WOW! so clean and pretty! I even polished the stainless exhaust tip for that extra bling! I swear the engine runs more smoothly when the car is washed (I know, it is all in my mind...)

Finally washed it 3 days ago. I got enough of looking at it being filthy (not to the point of being able to do the current challenge on our Rav4 game though). The tires were brown including the white letters... ugh :x, but it's all clean now

Temperature shot above freezing so I washed the RAV and the Yaris.

It was 40 degrees yesterday and the sun was out part of the day so I took off the faucet cover, hooked up my hose and washed my Rav again. My neighbor called out "You must have a new car! You are washing it in the middle of winter" LOL I hollered back "yes, and it looks so nice all clean and shiny! Pull your car up and join me!" The wimp went back inside. VBG But this morning, the first thought I had when I walked out to my car was, "If one has to go to work on a Monday, a clean and shiny black Rav makes it all that much more enjoyable".

Washed car in the morning, glad that snow is almost all gone. Thinking of getting car detailed in 2 or 3 months. I want that summer worthy look/shine.

I took mine through a car wash today. I've only done this once before since I usually wash it myself. I just could not take the salt anymore. :egad:

Drove my RAV4 through yet another snow storm! It handled it very well.

Serious, you and much of the mid west and east coast are sure getting hammered this winter. And, as I think of it, some of the south too. I'm in the PNW and while we were told it would be a seriously hard winter (sign on a auto parts store on my commute says "are you ready for the worst winter since 55?") it has been quite reasonable, though we've had snow twice, but nothing really serious, at least to me. I hope you are not having too hard a time of it, and I send safe travels and warm homes to all the listers, in the US and around the world.

Thanks goldogmom! It's typical north east winter. I'll just fire up the snowblower an take care of business.
