Is your EGR still connected???
- EGR is still physically on the car, but there's a strategically-placed ball bearing

Have you cleaned your intake manifold?
-No...at least not yet.

Have you cleaned the ALDA banjo bolt?
-No; need to install a boost gauge and repair the signal feed line before cleaning the banjo bolt will do me any good

Have you adjusted your valves?
-No; desperately overdue, but haven't had time

Have you checked tire wear and air pressure in the last month?
-Yes; all good on the rear tires; front tires need to be replaced...but then again, so does just about everything else on my front end...

Have you checked oil and coolant level this week?
-No, only because I haven't refueled this week. I check those at every fueling stop, which is roughly every 2 weeks.

Are the snow tires on your car yet?
-Snow? What's that? OOH YEAH...that white stuff I see on TV every now and then

Does your block heater work?
-No; none installed

Do you carry tire chains?
-See two questions above

Do you carry bags of sand?
-See above

Is there an ice scraper/snow brush in the car?
-See above

Did you get a pair of gloves for the car?
-Not for the car, but I've got a pair of gloves in the truck (heater's non-op at the moment)

Are you ready for winter?
-Almost...still need to replace the radiator in the truck, but otherwise I'm good to go
