We just ordered some snow shoes for her (Blizzak WS-50), got some new head light bulbs (Silver Star), and I'll be checking the A/C since it stopped working a while ago. Time to winterize folks!

I have 157 and some change on my 95 Mystqiue  and my AC was working that last time I used it We got a set new set of snow tires on the new set of 99 SE wheels we picked up and I think I will be getting those, the contour gets the Mystique wheels for the winter again so I can take the FSVT wheels off, the new/old set of snows will go on my mothers car, they were new last winter, and the oldest set will go on my father car when he has to drive it in Jan when my brother is home and needs a car to use I also took my old high beams from the contour and put them in the mystique, what a difference, I can actually kinda see now from not really being able to see

GL was having the same problem. Headlights seemed too dim. Mike is to blame for putting most of the mileage on her

that is because most people are in SUVs or large trucks and are above where out lights shine anyway ... and where their low beams still blind us

138k. Still stock on almost everything except that alternator that went. Even the water pump is still plugging along.

112k, and getting unhappier by the month.
I really need at least a driveway to keep it on instead of parked on the street.
I'm getting a bit of a vibration in the pedals while at speed, not terrible, and not really consistent with being out of balance, either.
Secondaries sound like they're open most of the time...
*sigh*
But I still love it. I just can't afford much for repairs on it right now.
