I adjusted my wife's headlights this morning...

And the rear view camera, too?

Check the oil?
Change the fluids?
Check the brake pads?
....the list can go on.....

We can't find the mileage on the car.  So I had to get the book out and read how to put it back onto the dashboard.  It has 531 miles, and the oil button say's our oil is at 90%.  When it gets down to 0% it's time for an oil change, but were going to take it in every 6 months which will be in March.

I think next time you guys need a used car. Pre-2008 or so.

Next time!?! Sheesh Dave, haven't we all been through enough already... besides, at their rate, they will have had it 20 years before they hit 20,000 miles! 

Chit technically will not need an oil change until 2025, even though you should change it at least annually anyway!

Somehow I get the impression that it'll be a total loss before then. 

DAMN YOU, JAKE FROM STATE FARM!

12 tickets and had the powerball on one ticket so getting rich $4 at a time, about as good as those Penney Page Points!

@NotGolfinDave....how far are you from Bedford OH?  Looks like I have to wander out there next month.

There's only one town between mine and Bedford. That'll be a nice short drive.

But most important question....how far to the nearest decent Lounge  (that is open after 6:00)

You want decent or open? Getting both could be an issue.... jk

A friend and I was driving through a bad part of North St. Louis years ago and we passed this really scary bar.  It was painted black, and had black bars over the windows and doors, and was in an industrial area.  My friend and I kept wondering what that bar was like but we were too scared to go there.  One night after work around 7pm, we dared each other to go there.  So we went, and we were both scared as hell.  The owner was this really big MEAN biker dude.  It turned out that the owner wanted to run a nice business, and if you caused any trouble in there, he'd take you out back and beat the shit out of you.  So everyone knew to behave in his place.  It turned out to be one of the safest places around due to this guys reputation.  Later he came up to us and said, "You guys want a pizza. I make the best pizza in town."  We said, "Sure..."  And it was a great pizza.

It was more like European Vacation this morning... around in circles... I just can't get left!

I don't make left turns.  I plan all my driving in right turns.  Let's say you want to make a left turn.  You go straight and make a right turn at the next block, then another right turn at the next block, then a final right turn at the next block, and there you have it, you're going in the direction of the original left turn.

Assuming of course you are driving on streets in a grid.  You would never survive in DC or Boston.

Actually, I did once turn onto a triangular shaped block and ended up in South St. Louis before I realized it.  So I do watch out for that now.

That kind of driving is classified as "severe" in the maint schedule.  Oil life is reduced significantly.

Honda is a little different that way.  The car will give you a service notice with an alpha/numeric.  You call to schedule the service and say whatever that number is.....eg. A-3 or B1 service.  Not sure when the notice for oil change comes on, maybe 20%, but definitely not 0.  They prefer that you use that schedule for service rather than a six month or whatever schedule.  Of course if you want to do greater frequency, I'm sure they will not complain.

Sounds more like East St Louis to me

My wife's kind of driving is classified as "severe" too but not in the maintenance schedule.  Lives could be reduced significantly while riding with her.

I doubt it, but if we sold it in 3 or 4 years at a good price, it might allow us to get into another new car...?  4 years old with less then 5,000 miles and a 3 year extended warranty.  It might be worth some thing...?

G'Morning, Folks... Big Ben, Parliament.

I'll take Football and Disco for $200, Alex.

My wife needed some new shoes, so we stopped at the Shoe Carnival in Fairview Heights.  It was 3:00 in the afternoon, and they were playing Disco and Beach Boys music.  I asked my wife, "Who are they trying to target with this music...?"  The strange thing is, I almost bought my wife some go-go boots...

Gotta love a woman in boots.

Travellin DAve says "women gotta luv a man in boots"

Paired with the cutoffs it says "man gotta luv a man in boots".

Yee Haw!

Trade in for Honda with low mileage and no issues would be pretty decent (relatively speaking).
