At least it appears to be an easy fix!

Ordered the oil filter lines from block to housing and remote cooler lines today. Hopefully I can get my leak taken care of this weekend.

Hey, good to find another New Yorker on the forum. I'm in the city a lot with mine, but streets only... Driving her to Boston on Saturday... Am I crazy?

Anyway, replaced an O2 sensor yesterday.

Not necessarily something to be proud of, but I put a couple of window stickers on her (Even my POW-MIA and NRA stickers don't touch paint, so I can't call any of them bumper stickers).
I generally feel stickers are tacky (no pun intended) but if they're mellow enough I'll do it sometimes. Black on tinted windows, for instance. Or grey in the lower left corner of the windsheild. Like THIS
Now this one is a bit more noticeable than I like, but it's on the rear now too.

With all the scanning LEDs on it, I guess I can't really pretend I'm trying to be low-key. I'm 44 with flashing lights and groupie stickers on my truck... Still cheaper and less flashy than sporting a 24 year old blonde!

Interstate 95 is a great cruise to boston, but only after the Bronx border. The washboards are so bad on the cross bronx to the GW Bridge, I think i am driving a boat on the Long Island Sound!

You're not kidding... Drove over the GW from Jersey to LI via Throgs Neck Bridge last Saturday. I try to avoid the Cross Bronx, but sometimes you have no choice.

I'm in Rockland, so was thinking of doing 287 > Merritt > 84 > 90 to Boston. What do you think? Def. bringing some tools along...

To be on-topic: Checked brakes and rotated tires. Fixed broken wire to L/F ABS sensor. Brake warning light went out! Interesting that an open circuit to the ABS sensor lights the brake warning light, not the ABS light.

Speaking of the Long Island Sound, this is from Monday:
