If you sold me the Lincoln 3 Yeats ago you'd have one less to deal with. Now I'm going Coyote swap in Fiddy......

Haha! Our neighbor came over to introduce himself last night. Older fella in his early 70s. He said I just wanted to see what kind of people we were going to have as neighbor's. The last family had so many kids they didn't even know how many they had. He had to put up a chain length fence to keep em out of the yard.

Here at Goodyear getting a oil change on cavalier. So far they have told me I need a air filter, told em its only been 10k miles its fine. Then told me my inspection is out and need to get a new inspection. Told em I don't need a inspection until sept when registration is due (argued with me on that one) and the last thing was it needed a radiator flush, the coolant was bad. Told him that's funny cause I changed it myself a month ago, then he changed the story to we didn't check it but was going off mileage. Just wonder how many people fall for these bogus services?

I think I might double-check the torque on your drain plug and pull the dipstick to verify there's oil before I got too far down the road....lol

I pull the dipstick before ever leaving the parking lot. If the garage wasn't a disaster I would have changed it myself. But for 22 bucks for valvoline oil and filter its hard to beat

Really tempted to leave work early so I can have time to mow my back yard. Got a tiny but of sunshine this afternoon, maybe dryer out enough to cut it. We're forecasted for another week of rain every day

Whenever I get my tires rotated at Discount Tire I make sure to double check my lugs -- on more than one occasion over the years they have either twisted off a lug and never told me about it or forgot to put a lug back on one of the wheels. For the broken lug they sent me to the local Midas shop to have it replaced on their dime, but it would have been nice if they had just told me rather than me finding out when I hopped back into my vehicle.....

Help!

Okay, folks, I have $300 burning a hole in my pocket, and I have decided to allocate it to the truck! I sold my old OEM 17" wheels, so technically the money belongs to the truck anyway

What should I do with it??

I recently added a Boost Bar and Raptor/HD tail lights. I plan to replace my chrome toolbox with a black one, but I have a friend who has a metalworking shop and he is able to powdercoat my current one for me, so I'm considering going that route instead of buying a new one. How about some Bilsteins? Or maybe Weathertech liners? EDIT: Other options could be a Yeti cooler or a new handgun. Or I could be smart and put it in my savings account

Any ideas?
