Side Tracked
Well after reading all the posts I could find on here, I had made decision to install 4:10s but had to put them on backburner. Wife decided that new window switch was more impotant( tired of asking me to raise and lower it!)
then headlight swith decided to come off in my hand, next ABS light came on and refused to go out, trip to repair shop for diagnosis, and I now have new rotors, callipers and pads up front. While on the lift, mechanic checks shocks and makes recommendation they be replaced soon. When I go to pick up car it is parked in such a way that it is inclined to the right, so that when I open door to get in, the door promptly closes on my leg, door hinge needs to be replaced! The joys of buying a high mileage car that the the other owners didn't bother to maintain.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, I intend to take care of the basics first.
No Jiffy Lube for me, the guy I deal with has been fixing my cars for about
20 years and is honest and very fair with the price.
