Today I cleaned my radiator cap/filler neck, filled the radiator and topped off the coolant reservoir. I also checked my brake rotors to see how they're breaking in, so far so good.

The 5,000 mile LOF today. Guy in the pit said the tires are looking thin. I know, goal is to replace them before the first rain. Typically the first rain is by the end of the month. Michelins on my mind, need another $200 to make the buy.

Since I am moving it seems that I packed and moved the car wash bucket, Mr Clean & the California squeegee. Since I've been using the Monte to move a few things it's starting to look like I've been hauling goats from the barn. So a rare $20 car wash happened today.

Fun to see the wiper guys finish, but deliberately wait for them to announce on the PA speaker. "Chevvalay MONte CARlo" with the Spanish accent.
