      One more day of 70 degree weather here means last chance to swap the tires out without freezing my knuckles off. And on they go!

      I always record my milage when I do basic maintenance and stuff like this, and it turns out I've driven almost exactly 10,000 miles on this car since this time last year, and only 4k this summer. This is an insanely low milage for me, even with driving the Corvette sometimes in the summer.

      Parts cannon was also fired on a full new set of plugs, coils, and air filters. It's only been about 15k miles since I did new plugs last, so I may just save those for later but my coil packs have been failing one-by-one so I think I'm going to swap all those out before I develop a misfire in mid-february and have to swap one out in polar vortex temps.

          @superdave847 Thanks! It's a fun car for me, mostly nice enough to get me to work and places I want to go through the winter, but also old and ratty enough that I'm not afraid of messing it up too much when I try how to learn and fix things as they go wrong.

            That reminds me, I should really put on my winters as well. Last few days of warm temps before they go back to reality, and I'd rather do it when warm than when it's cold out. Guess I know what I'm doing this week.

              If the weather here continues to be good, I may not switch wheels until December.

                I did the same for the wagon on Friday, snowed Sunday and again last night. Wheels and tires:

                Fintail might have an extended hibernation period this winter, if the weather continues.

                  @stuckmtb I think the E46 is perfect.
