At least a daily shower for myself, but the 'Cat...no, it's been washed once, about two years ago now,

Two things in my favor; the Hyper Black wheels don't really show brake dust. And more importantly, I don't use the brakes much as they tend to slow the car down.

Anybody that pulls the wheels off (like I do) to clean them is just damn fine in my book!

What I technically should do is change the oil. It's been five months and three weeks since the 'Cat got its oil change before hibernation.

What I will do instead is go for a drive. Have felt bad about not driving the poor thing yet this year, and last night I even dreamt about it.

So some of whatever rightfully should've been done today will have to wait. And I hope it'll enjoy its new expensive gas as much as I'll enjoy the drive.
I put my car up for winter at the end of November - and did the six month oil change dating from the previous May's oil change then. Drove probably 30 miles before putting it up on the lift. Today I did the mandated to keep engine warranty six month oil and filter change dating from last November. Total miles on November's oil and filter was 150 miles. That's the deal with Dodge, but I sure wish there was a mileage allowance. In two years I'll make my own *grin*.

And I'm going for a drive with the wife in half an hour!

Keep it up, eager to hear how it works.

My son wanted to work on the car today but I didn’t have anything to do to it, so we took it apart and cleaned it haha. We literally spent about 5 hours just hanging out in the garage, listening to music, and casually cleaning the car. It was awesome.

Still a lot of work to do under the hood, maybe take it somewhere for a steam clean? Pretty happy with the $10 VHT rattle can re-spray of the coil pack covers.

Pulled the wheels and cleaned the barrels, finally cleaned the residue off from the old weights

The residue is fun. I have tried everything and Goo Gone seems to work the best

That is what I use too. The automotive Goo Gone and tough rag. Still a huge pain in the butt.

I put mine up as well, pulled the wheels, wheel-wells, underneath, also did the engine bay and the hood liner.

This stuff worked amazingly well on the hood liner (thru a foam cannon)

Did a little "hammer time" to get the 315s to fit. I will do a write up. Pretty easy:)

You said one of us screamed "WTF was that".
If it was you, probably a problem.
If it was her, you probably just scared her going WOT.
My guess is that she has been in the car with you enough to not scare easy though.
Just was a quick joke.
