Time for a tuneup

Dave my buddy came thru big time today.  He replaced about 6 cracked
and leaky vacuum hoses.  Vicki and i went over there this afternoon.  I
keep on getting lost when i go there.  It's on a long road with relatively few
landmarks.  Lucky for me there's a business next door that has a side of
the road display.  I noted a couple of landmarks this time to make it easier
to spot the place next time.

Dave suggested a full tuneup.  That sounds like a good plan to me.  It has
been running a little rough.  Vicki priced that on the phone this evening, it'll
total out at $ 70.00 for all the parts, then add about $ 40 in labor and it should
be done.

I also have a desire to get the side windows tinted with a reflective film.
It makes the car less hot on the hotter days.

Finally, Charles (WD6DTK) suggested i sneak in a tank full of medium grade
gas. I've been giving it exclusively premium grade, because of a knock that
was occuring when i used a lower grade.

  1. You know Marcus, I agree with
    Charles. I think they over-octane the 'good' stuff. You can put even low grade gas in a half-empty tank, that has premium gas in the rest of it, and get full grade performance. I do that a lot.
