The Jetta's extra set of steel wheels is about to get a fresh coat of paint:
Rustoleum Dark Bronz Hammered Finnish.
I sprayed a little bit to test it, and I think it will look marvelous with the Jetta's dark blue. I will do one wheel per night for the next four nights. There is not enough ventilation in here to do them all at once.

New idea: I will leave two of the wheels silver, and paint two of them bronze. That will make it easy to remember where I am in my tire rotation. SMRT, I am so smart.  :praise:

He didn't even pass Calc I.

Adjusting the steering wheel is Calc III material at least. I can barely do it.

Damn those multiple integrals. I forget that the people who never learned them can't move their steering wheels, much less adjust their power seats.  :frown: Those poor souls.

Math is for chumps.

Now...

The next $100: brake line.
The next $400: clutch.
The next $100: tune-up
The next $0-120: Rear wheel bearings make a tiny bit of noise, seem a little loose, may have to repack... unless they're sealed, then I have to buy $$$ new ones
Then I need a set of tires All-Season 195/60/14  - Thinking Bridgestone Potenza G009

Yes, a good choice for sure, and the price is mid-range. I wish I had them right now, because all my tire (on both sets) are nearly bald! But, I have my list prioritized.

I guess I won't be buying them anymore.  I could have sworn I'd seen them in a 205/50/16, but that size seems to  be no longer available.   :cry:

Who was in the car and who took the video?
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.
