Cruel swain,why dost thou torment me thus?

It would take me the better part of a twelvemonth to list what I need to do,let alone finish!

I'll get depressed if I go through the W124 list...

It's the "household tasks" list that eclipses any chance of doing car stuff...

2007 Chevy Tahoe

- replace rapidly fading and bad-weather ineffective 275/55-20 Bridgestone Turanza tires with 275/55-20 Bridgestone Dueler Revos or a comparable Michelin tire.

- run swiffer over dusty dashboard

Would that be a swiffer with a touch of Fabreeze in it?

Not unless you're trying to tell me something...

Embarassingly, my list is virtually the same as it was when I got the car a year ago. All I've done is change fluids and filters.

-Replace rubber exhaust and muffler hangers.
-Replace the (at least) two bad glow plugs.
-Fix rust at bottom rear edge of 2 front fenders, one rear fender well lip and spot showing from underneath chrome strip below rear windows.
-Adjust SLS upward a tad.
-Tear apart brakes to clean and inspect.
-Replace all weatherstipping (windows and doors).
-Replace gaskets underneath roof rack feet.
-Replace aged and knob missing aftermarket Blaupunkt (Still debating old Becker or infinitely better new one) and speakers.
-Install replacement fogs I bought from TheDon (currently work but all yellow has faded away)
-Refinish Bundts.
-Get backup lights to work (assuming it's the switch) and replace the one that fell victim to a snow bank this past winter (maybe upgrade to brighter ones)
-Perhaps the least appealing to me, dive into the ACC system and get the A/C to work.

Once I get the Jeep and one of my boats gone I'll have a lot more time to devote to it.
