    Restoring a Caddy as time and weather allows
Christmas Presents for the VW
« on: December 26, 2017, 09:27:46 pm »
Many people own pets and give them something special from time to time.  Some of you might do that.  But do you also treat the car to a gift?

Maybe a wash in the 20 degree weather just so it looks special as you cruise to the mall or downtown?  I used to make sure the family car was spiffy for the holidays.  In Michigan with all the salt spray that took some real effort some years. 

I decided that I wasn't going to haul my new pancake compressor to the curb every other day and inflate the front tires.  I had one on the rear go two weeks ago and the other three are at or just about at wear bars.  Not a good place to be for the winter, even if it does mostly rain here all the time.  So I called about and found a tire shop looking to deal on 4 used 14 inch tires so that was the treat I supplied this year.  I really need floor mats but if you can't drive it without filling tires all the time why own it.  So now much better ride.

Let us know what your special treat for the mechanical marvel was this year.

What brand of tires did you go for?
