you should be paying less tax this time
April 15 taxes and tire rotation what a day


you'll~ I think be paying less tax this coming year~ that might buy you a new set of tires and a battery~ and something you've always wanted``` as well as~ well~ maybe that's all```


All weather tires are legal~ maybe not studded~ is summer```

Don't think I've ever rotated my tires```

Clayton always said regular oil changes are the cheapest way to keep a car running for a long time. I'm following his advice and I've added tire rotations since they are low cost with coupons for "the whole deal" oil changes.

Not getting them quite as often as the shop suggests -- every 3,000 miles when the book says each 10,000. I've settled at 7,000 miles. Perhaps more is better in some driving conditions, but I'm always doing country driving as part of every day. I figure the shop is in it for the money.

Red, grew up being told the same by my mechanic dad. Difference is they use synthetic oils now. Plus engineers have done a great job at makin* engines more efficient. Old days, 3-4,000 miles and you were a quart low. Old engines burnt some oil so you changed oil and spark plugs on a regular basis.

The battery in the ranger is bad, it will start everyday but not every few days I have to charge it. I should put in a new one but I have 5 vehicles I maintain6 if you count the snowplow. Seems like always something to fix on our daughters cars or wife's so mine is last. I am taking time off of work right now so not driving it much it can wait. We run studs on all of our vehicles it takes about a full day to swap all the tires around and I do rotate winter tires as well as summer tires.i do not change oil on any of the cars, you can't buy the filters and oil for less than quick lube charges.
