although nothing beats our Merchant's tire locally who have good techs (know what they're doing) and they offer the 9.99 oil change and tire rotation. Oil, filter, and tire rotation for 12.99 total with tax and disposal fees. No way it's worth my time to change the oil in our minivan for that--- the oil and filter cost me more if I do it myself... :D

Yeah, theres a small shop down the road (tiny mom and pop with old signs and awesome vintage stuff, my buds grandpaw runs it used to work GM factory back in the day).

They charge like 9 bucks and top all the fluids off too!

Well, Im back. The biggest wire I had was 16 guage so I'll wait till another evening to install my relays I did mount them up for the heck of it though.

The BBQ was very good (2nd sandwich today, and they gave me enough meat for 2 more sandwiches) :) :)

Hubscrub, I know you look at this thread some, you've GOTTA do the relay mod. It makes a huge difference. I just got done for a test drive, the old highbeams were not NEARLY as bright as low with relay!!

Cost me around $15 (I had alot of the stuff) and about 4 hours (I didnt know what I was doing and took my time heat shrink and solder and crimp).

Gonna clean it all up tomorow maybe. I'll have pictures soon' as I find the camera cord OR my phone memory card reader (we all have our own, but someone always takes mine because they lost theirs, thanks little sister..)

Going to bed.
