    Default Spring cleaning...

    Yesterday I finally got around to cleaning the mess out from inside my fenders - yikes! I scooped out a pile of leaves and dirt, along with a couple of sockets and some miscellaneous junk. (And, really, the picture doesn't do it justice...)

    Live oak leaves. Got one that sheds them onto whatever happens to be parked underneath. They are indestructible and will accumulate in all kinds of places in your car.

    Yes indeed... and the inside of your fenders makes for a nice little composting machine...

    So that's were the 14mm went.
    Hmm what is decent? Are we talking about your decent or my decent? I'm just curious because I don't want to offend anyone else's decent...

    I did this a few months ago, too. Sadly, my pile of crud didn't include additional tools.

    While I suppose this routine cleaning isn't as necessary as in more northern areas, it certainly is eye-opening to see just how much gunk can collect in there just from toodling around!

    Is the place in question behind the front wheel or in-front of the rear wheels?
