I’ve never given any thought to auto maintenance in your climate. Perhaps some day I’ll need to.
Still raining, and it looks like I’ll need to go to Walmart for coffee.
Makes more sense than going to Coffemart for walls.
At least, I think it does.
Could you pick up some coffee for me, as well? I use Millstone, unflavored. Thanks! I’ll look for it in the DarkFAX...
One just needs to remember that heat kills, and in the desert, it kills everything, organic or inorganic. Car parts and finishes are extremely susciptible, so it is imperative to keep a record of every item that is replaced or repaired on a vehicle. That way, you can estimate when it might need to be done again.
Tires may still have good tread after three years, but three summers of 120+ heat on asphalt and concrete will cause them to dry and split. The same with all rubber on the vehicle. Lots of people here use dashboard covers, even if they also use the sunscreens in the windows to give the dash a little more life. Dry rot inside a vehicle is pretty ugly.
And if you aren’t careful, you can get a nasty burn from the door handles and/or the steering wheel! I need to get a steering wheel cover, but I don’t think I can swing it this payday.
