... I should probably also replace the rear brakes. Pretty sure I haven't done that since my first tire change (I'm on set 3 now,) but I don't hard brake and could probably wait until the front brakes need replacing again. Those are coming up soon, I know that for sure. Car maintenance is expensive (But thankfully everything I've mentioned is something I can easily do myself, saving myself a full grand or more in labor costs)

@kilroy Doing your own car maint. is crucial.

Especially when you're a romantic dumbass and have a fetish for lovable basket cases with frame rust, Ford Rot, and a previous owner who thought oil changes were optional.

@Motodrachen Oh no, I've seen videos of the end results of "oil change optional" engines D: Sometimes they can be saved, but man is it a lot of work cleaning out all that sludge
