sounds like a good deal for synthetic!

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...

[oldblue1968chevy]

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!

Been doing brakes on dads tundra all afternoon, what could go bad went bad.

Im about to start on my headlight relays I think. headed that way now with a BBQ sandwich.

No more highschool for me. Graduation is this friday.. I'lll miss seeing my friends everyday, but Im glad its over.

[Hubscrub]

congrats, i've been out for 11 years/ i miss it but life is so much more enjoyable now, being married and all

[oldblue1968chevy]

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)

Congrats on graduating! I know you're going to be asked this about a thousand times in the next few weeks, but what are your plans?

[dougminton]

I just skimmed through your thread and I'm gonna follow it for sure.
good to see it all blue again.

[oldblue1968chevy]

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.
