I was talking to someone who's 82 y.o. yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner, and he had fond memories of the '67 Corvette that he once owned. It dawned on me no matter what age we are, we seem to love getting our cars setup the way we want. And of course, there are cost and timing factors that are limiting.
For example, when my wife's GM SUV needed shocks and struts, I went to some lengths to get Bilsteins installed.
I drove my used car purchased in 2016, 6 years with the cheap tires the new car dealer put on it, waited until they were worn to get the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4's on.
Even brakes, it bothers me when I see cheap rotors with rusted hats. Felt good to take those off. I tend to wait, not throw things away that are still good.
Seems like there's always something on the back burner. Are you waiting to do any maintenance or upgrade on your car?
