tires

Well... I have to say, I know I should be more attentive to my car's needs. However, I'm not. My poor car, it is a 1997 Monte Carlo, 161,000 miles on it. Today, the driver's back tire died. Poor thing, not only was it bald, it also lost all it's wires in that spot too. I feel sorry for the tire. Thank God it decided to die while it was parked not while I was driving it!

As if my car hasn't had enough trauma, not only did the tire die but so did the battery. The battery hasn't actually passed on just yet. It still has about half life left. It's enough to start the poor car but barely. Poor thing.

Poor car.

you 2 are nuts.
P...all you have to do is mark stuff on your calendar pertaining to when stuff has to be replaced. mark it every 3 months for oil changes, once a year for radiator flushes, once every six months for tire maintenance and so on.
