Walmart seat covers ftw. Honestly as long as my interior doesn't have huge nasty stains or is ripped up, I don't care. It gets used and I'd rather spend my time not obsessing over dirt. Yeah I like cleaning sometimes, it's relaxing in a sense but I just don't have the patience to keep my cars detailed. Call me lazy but I'd rather be playing old video games then hunting for dust in every nook and cranny.Originally posted by sly View Post
That being, Dave, said I respect your attention to detail, you have more patience than I and if you have the time for it then more power to you.88 Town Car (wrecked, for sale)

I just read this whole thread and I gotta say that is a sweet car. I like the nice touches you've put on it.
How much did those snows run you if I may ask?

Just saw this thread! Nice get with the Benz. E-Class from that era is one of my favs!
I was so relieved to see that you went with four snow tires instead of two. Most guys with the two set up on the rear forget that it's the wheels in the front doing the steering and all four help stop. Essentially just having them on the rear only makes you accelerate easier in the snow... and if you can't stop any better (70% or some similarly disproportional amount of braking power comes from the front) or steer any better...
Anyways, awesome car is the moral of the story!
PS - I'm going to PM you about your experience buffing/clay bar/making paint shiny. You do awesome work and I want to sponge up some of your wisdom.************************************************** ******************************

Not a bad price for snows. I got quoted $400 mounted and balanced for generic cheapies.

Swapped the snows on today. 80 bucks to dispose of the old, remove, replace and balance.
I took them on a test ride and all was well. No annoying at all!

Handles fine so far with no out of the ordinary noises...
Today I changed the transmission pilot bushing (basically an electrical connector) which was leaking and could potentially allow fluid to wick up the wires and fry the transmission control module. I also flushed the fluid and changed the filter. There was also an unintentional oil change done after I caught dad accidentally pouring transmission fluid into the engine oil dipstick. The tranny dipstick is hidden behind it and under the engine cover so he honestly thought he was filling up the tranny.
Some pics!

All of the fluid I cycled through her to get it nice and clean again:
