Fixed a flat, had a slow leak for a while. Removed the tire from the vehicle and discovered a roofing nail. Glad I discovered it in my garage and not on the highway.

Not exactly standard equipment on an '06...

A few weeks ago, not today, but close enough.

We are. They are absolutely wonderful. We've had older dogs for many, many years - most of them going through the usual poor health in their old age.

These two are three years old, and love to go on their walks!

Since Monday was a holiday, I changed to oil on my Mustang, Corvair, wife's Miata, and her Saturn. It's not often that they all come up due at the same time. Busy day.

Wink Rain and warm temps mean no salt on roads

Got to drive to work. Next winter the Mustang will be set up for road, for now only on salt free road days. Snow means skiing, warm temps and rain mean driving the Mustang. Nice to have options.

Drove in the rain for about 2 hours. It was so crusted with road salt and grime before I started, it's actually cleaner now than it was.

Don't drive the mustang very much, only nice warm days. Thought I would hook her up to a trickle charger to keep the battery healthy, its the kind of charger that allows you to keep it hooked up for extended periods of time, shuts off when fully charged.

that's good practice. the new models desulfate (sp) and condition the plates to extend and maintain battery health. I have one of those units and rotate among the cars. really seems to help the older batteries stay in shape!

I put on a new set of windshield wipers..... And then the sun came out....

I'm not complaining, I'll take every bit of sunshine I can get.

Drove it to work today, in about 300 out of the 500 mile break-in period on the new clutch and transmission. Its taking too long damnit! Lovin the way it shifts though, miles better than the 3650

Rotated the tires on my PP 2017 GT. right front to left front, right rear to left rear. Don't know how much of a difference it makes but it gave me a project.

Are the tires not directional?

Cuz if they're directional, it sounds like you've got them going backwards now
