Switched the wheels front to rear so I can get new tires on the front this week. Checked the brake pads and rear shoes. All good for another year and trip.

Removed seat covers from a spare set of seats on Sunday and washed them.

(Took plenty pics for a write-up later.)

No repairs...too cold. Rear wiper not spraying anymore; likely a motor issue.

Anyways, gave her an Ultimate car wash and a full tank of gas. Oh, and of course, it is now slightly snowing....figures!!

Got new front tires for the LRR.
Checked on Wed........Tires will be in Thur. Made an appt. for today (Friday)
Got there, no tires.
They made a run to a different tire shop for the tires and then gave me a discount for my extra hour wait.
Instead of 91.00 per tire,I got them for 78.00 each.
This was at "Discount Tire".

You scored willie.
Wonder of I can join the fun, I did put on my bra, and it made a differences.
Turn a head in the parking lot. a car bra.
Yea,know it's dated but better than the stock year front end, I've got a earlier year bra that has less holes like the sport light holes that not used, and a smaller bottom grill and guess what? It made a larger differences than expected, when you ever said that ? feel like the differences I felt when adding LL rated tire on coasting, great bang for the money, also you can use just the bottom too, it look cool that way too.

I got the alignment done on mine...



Whoops! Feels better haven't driven it far but might explain some mpg issues I was having!

Loaned my Insight out to my ex-girlfriend, current room-mate while her Mercedes was getting the brakes fixed.
While driving it, she proceeded to knock off the passenger mirror, scrape the passenger door just slightly, and now my passenger door window no longer works.

Maybe she should be your "ex" ex girlfriend.

Already did.
About a year ago.

The funny thing is she's a nurse, so she put white gauze on the "stump" where the mirror used to be.
Guess she thought it would stop the bleeding.
