What did you do to/with your van today?

I got up early this morning, put the winter tires and greased the front end. \

So while I was laying there in the cold cold ( -1 / 30f + windchill ) driveway on my back this morning ( with the grease gun in hand ) I noticed the surface rust becoming a little more prominant. I started contemplating some Krown Rust control. Van has never been rustproofed so maybe at 8years old I should start ? Not that I have the $200 cash burning a hole in my pocket but I don't want to have to give up the van a few years from now due only to rust issues.

Just picked up the van from the body shop, got it done for $550, plus parts ($110). Now, gotta get some hours in so i can pay for it...

I poked around inside its brain! Interesting stuff inside there.

Well...it's what I'm gonna do in a few minutes that's interesting...

Despite having received an improperly wired RS-232 cable with my TECH 2 diagnostic tool, I have fixed it and now have the ability to record and read real time data from my PCM (brain) in the van. We're talkin' everything. I can see everything the computer sees! This is going to be AWESOME!

Screenshots just sitting at my desk:

This tool just became worth its weight in gold, to me anyway. Now I'm off for a test drive!

Started buying up materials for a roof rack. Discovered a chattering noise coming from somewheres under the dash, most likely a relay going bad. Looked at the "other" van website and contemplated membership over there. Also found a lot of photos of my van and references to me on that site. Funny though, they all seemed to like my flashy van and I didn't see any insults. I'm sure they're there if I look hard enough, not hard to find them here though. I was surprised and intrigued that they have an adult content section! Need to be a member to view it though. Hmmmm.

You should do it.

Nothing wrong with being a member of different sites.

I read both, and am greatly benefited.

Good Luck, Jim

Used it to haul my a set of steelies for my wife's 9000 to the shop for a new set of snow tires.
Changed the oil and put on the snows on the van after.

Perhaps if the members there were to commonly hear you being a big jerk starting fights, and calling other members "Hack" or any of the other names you like to throw around, you would find more insults thrown back at you, from over there. Keep up the good work.
EDIT: I forgot to mention making threats.
Just my 2 cents...

Today I kicked the tires, checked the fluids, filled the tank and prepared for a long trip up North.

Now you need a gun mount behind your head somewhere. Only then will you be a bona fide redneck.

I prefer my 12GA to lean up against the dash, like in a cop car. Handy Dandy for them crawlin varmints.
