Stage 1 of winterizing my car complete

Yep just finished it an hour ago. I did my own oil change/filter (switched to castrol syntec) and got new, better spark plugs. used some fuel injector cleaner and some iso-heet also. It purrs now.

Stage 2 will be winter tires, washer fluid, windshield wipers,

BTW: What is the best winter tire for a reasonable amount of money ($40-$60 each) ??

stage 2 = (to be completed at a unknown later date) turn heater on
stage 3 = move heater back to AC for spring

wow, I would think a car like yours you would have a winter beater.

oh yeah, I gotta check my interior fan blower thingy. It was making a nasty rattle noise a while ago.
