If you want to air a bottle of white, you really have to put it in the bucket with ice-cubes.... fridge is a no no.....

oh, you don't have a fridge JUST for wine?

I don't need a fridge just for wine cos my cold room is cold enough for red.

To make it clear, the house I am living now, have a double-basement (two levels), the lower level is cold enough to store all kinds of alcohol, we have some 20+ years old Chinese wine(50%+) and some 20+ years old red wine in that room and they are just fine....

White I just leave them in the fridge cos I don't stock as many as red.

But dude...even if your fridge have nothing but just wine, it still have odor cos the cold air circulating inside the fridge is chemically produce, and it keeps circulating inside the fridge... you won't want your wine absorb those 'air'....

Keep it in the ice-bucket... it's better...

I won't say I am an expert, but trust me...

While all great advice, I can assure you that you DO NOT need an oil cooler. The brake upgrade should be further up the wish list.

Why no oil cooler? Two things:

1. You have an automatic;
2. Your driving style and environment - you don't track your car.

I regularly cruise (sometimes "intensely") with a group of cars (who you all know ms. pint) made up of 6-spd manuals with and without oil coolers. I regularly run 20 degrees cooler than the manual guys. It's got to be the auto transmission.

Additionally, with an oil cooler, the car takes longer to warm up when it is cool outside.

Oil coolers are a must for guys who track their cars; I'm not disputing that, nor do I think oil coolers are extravagent add-ons. All I'm saying is that ms. pint's driving style is more like mine and spending money on an oil cooler should be way down the wish list.

That all being said, the brake upgrade would be a little further down the wish list too. From everything you have posted, it's clear you want a nice set of rims. THAT would be my target for now if I were you. Spending money on anything else just pushes that goal further into the future.

Sermon over. You're a big girl and it's your money. Just passing along my two cents worth ( if that much) of advice.

Thanks Mike! You've posted everything I wanted to say last night but didn't want to thumb type on my tablet. I am going for aftermarket mirrors first since the OEM ones do block my forward view a bit. I've been eyeing the EVOR version but I'm waiting to see what sorts of complaints are received first.

Hope you had a blessed turkey day sir!

You are quite welcome ms. pint!

I would be a bit leery of EVO-R only because the customer communications and product delivery is so shaky. There are a similar set of mirrors that EVO-R basically copied, Craftsquare - mr. kenchan has them on his car, and they were even mentioned in the EVO-R mirror thread - that I would order first.

I've seen them in person, and they are very nice.

Sorry you have to work today. Have a good weekend.

Craftsquares are so pricey though. I'll hold off to see how the EVOR ones are reviewed.

morning kids! I pulled into work and my parking spot was taken, the whole parking lot was full. Had to park wayyyyyyyy out there, so I pulled a douchebag move and took up 4 spots. I'm not letting anyone ding my doors with their black friday craziness...
