Man, this weekend's going to be a pain...

... looks like it's "fix the car" weekend. All this minor crap has been bugging the hell out of me, and supposedly it'll be warm tomorrow, so maybe I can fix it all. My coolant overflow hose has a pinhole in it, and I'm always leaking antifreeze. My left air shock blew out the other day (the puddle of shock oil in the parking lot at work gave it away; I thought I just had a leaking line). I lost 3 out of 4 screws on that trim piece between the headliner and hatch window- for the past 3 days, it's been bouncing around on one screw- very annoying. My windows and blinker are slow as hell lately; I think it's time to go to Pep Boys and trade in this lifetime warranty alternator for "alternator #4". I might replace the battery cables, too... it's been a while. I think I still have 2 years left on this battery (big Interstate sucker). My car's also dirty as hell, inside AND out! What a shame!
