I ordered some oil for Angie's car the week before last hoping to change it
the weekend before last. FCPEuro was the cheapest but I figured it'd take
awhile. IDParts was $5 more expensive but their cheap shipping ($5) is usually
overnight since they're only about 70 miles away.
Buggers didn't ship the oil until the following Monday. It arrived on Tuesday
as predicted but the delay in handing off to the shipper really soured me...
Next time I'll try FCPEuro.

I ordered 2 transmission service kits for the $900E500 and $1200ML500 Thursday
evening. Selected the free shipping option that said it would be here next
Friday. Ok fine. 2-day shipping was a lot.
Got messages this morning it’s on a fedex truck for delivery today, shipped out
of Milford CT yesterday. Free 2-day shipping, almost as good as Amazon Prime
which delivered a fluid pump yesterday evening late after ordering it Thursday
too.
Learnings: Don’t pay for expedited shipping.
Looks like I can try to get the $1200ML500 sorted tomorrow, see if I can get it
transmitting properly. The E I gotta send off for a new conductor plate ($$$)
and get that running.
If the ML works that’s a quick flip as I don’t particularly care for it. Even
if not I’ll try to unload it. The E is very nice and entertaining to drive
though a quite boring color combo, so I might enjoy it for a little while and
pretend to be a boring old white man. Maybe I should break out some black knee
socks and sandals.
