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.

Had a little shimmy in the RAV4 at 65 mph. Took the Blackmobile in today to check why this was happening since I just had the new tires balanced a little while ago. Found out the last guy that did the work counter balanced the wheels since the old weights were still on from the previous tires :shrug:

EGAD! Hard to believe isn't it? That's almost as bad as the A/C filter installed with the plastic still on it.

Yeah, pretty bad. The BlackMobile smoothed right out after a rebalance. I started to wonder if I had a bent rim.

Put a new battery in it. The stock battery made it to 109,000 miles, figured it was time.

I looked at the Optima's, but I decided to go to AutoZone and just get the Duralast 24F-DLG for 89.99 installed.

Installed Yakima anchor strap kit to the front fender bolts and installed 2 Thule Kayak holders to the roof rack.

At 115,000 miles now. I had the oil changed. Also, the coolant flushed and spark plugs changed for the first time. Here is a pic of the plugs http://rav4world.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=282299#282299

Used Stoner's Tarminator on ALL the doors, fenders, and lower surfaces of her car. She had no choice but to drive on a fresh patch of newly tarred road. What a mess! I went to two car washes to use the pressure sprayers on the caked wheel wells and interior side of mud flaps to knock the tar & pebbles off...........they were both closed! WTF? The garage reeks of tar......I've got a heavy duty clean up in front of me. I'm glad that I had a full can of Tarminator in my stash as I used most of it.

Yeah, seems like a lot of road work around here over the summer. The tar is a pain to remove.

Using it to take the trash to the dump today. One of its many useful purposes.

Took advantage of the above normal temps and gave the RAV it's first wash of 2011.

I need to do that also. Maybe tomorrow weather permitting.

It was 46 degrees today. I was able to wash all three cars including the BlackMobile. Glad to get that salt off...
