Yesterday I cleaned the MAF sensors at lunch. Ms. Pintsize came over after work to pick up a socket she left over here last time, so I cleaned her MAF sensors as well. Then, later in the evening, I changed the differential oil (RL 75W90) and transmission oil (RL MT-85). While I had the car up on jackstands I was smart and thought to check the mileage on the oil maintenance counter. Sure enough, it was at 4990/5000, so I went ahead and changed the engine oil (Mobil 1) as well
I took the opportunity to deep clean the wheels, including barrels. I also polished the lug nuts and finally put on the wheel locks I've had sitting around for almost a year now The only issue was the wind blew over my front passenger tire while I was messing around with the hose. It face planted on my concrete driveway, leaving a nice gash

What makes you say that? Just because I'm an idiot and had troubles with your brake pads last time? Naw...
I'm going to start buying bigger tires, though. I'm running 255s on the front, and they don't cover the lip of the rim when I set them down. I let both of my rear tires fall over without any worries - they are running 305s and I already knew the tire protects both the front and rear of the wheel. I was running 255 and 285, but I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and run 275 and 305 going forward. I never went that wide before because of cost. The only reason I have 305s in the rear right now is because I picked them up cheap from a forum member. But if the larger tires protect my wheels this well, then I'm all for em
