My car hit 170,000 miles this week. w00t!
My CD player has an affinity for scratching CDs during loading/unloading.
The vacuum choke must be busted, because the car runs super-rich until the electric choke kicks in and opens the choke. Maybe I can find a way to alter that behavior this weekend before the weather gets really cold and things get worse. I just wish my car had a cable choke. That would be really cool, and it would solve this problem.

Houston, we have music.
I got a cheap CD player off of eBay. It works. It took some fixing, but it works, and I have music, and more importantly I can listen to CDs!
I changed my oil and transmission fluid over the weekend. The car has 169,500 miles on it. My car is burning some oil these days, and I think it may be burning a small amount of coolant as well.
I changed to 10W-30 oil in the transmission. I can feel that the shifts are a little stiffer and notchier with this oil, but I’m going to keep it for a while and see how it goes.
