It only takes a few extra minutes.
There is something to be said for "keeping the shiny side up"!

i once worked with an idiot in the army that shined the ENTIRE tire on his motorcycle. he was an odd character and the bike was some weird old honda. he wiped out pulling out of the parking lot and the MPs had to pull the bike off of him!

That's almost as good as this guy from the forums for my other car.

I just put red locktite on my oil drain plug.

He still catches hell about it to this day. A few weeks ago he made a post about the fact that when he drives his car hard, he breaks traction a lot. Someone told him to put locktite on the tread. LOL!!

haha. this is one of the few time consuming sites i can go to at work. every few mins during my 12 hour shift i just check on my posts and write. breaks up my evening quite well. you guys will see me post 30-50 posts a day for a few days, then almost nothing on my days off.

this is a new habit of mine... my post count is climbing rather quickly
