I am with you there!

I tend to keep my engine on except for longish lights, forced drive throughs (I love the horns for me to move up one spot), and the last bit of my journey.So I'm not sure that would help me much. I am however much much more aggressive the the key in non-turbocharged vehicles.

Good news, "all" of my bits are in, and the boots even came with CV joint grease.

I'm going to try and change my timing belt tomorrow (I actually ordered the timing belt set a week before the transmission, and it just showed up today). So after the timing belt I'll try and change the CV boot's / grease and hopefully get to the swap early next week.

More maintenance tidbits, the lab says the engine oil needs to go, 52,000 (at sample, 54,000 now) miles with out a drain isn't so bad though. My TBN took a dive, I'm guessing that if I had to add a little make up oil it would have stayed up, but whatever .
