    Vehicle Maint Software/Website

    I tried excel spreadsheets in the past and ended up with a medium size spiral notebook in the dash. Always with me, I can tape receipts in it, I can touch it with greasy hands.... Sometimes old tech works best.

    heating my shop with used motor oil

    Our old family shop had a wood burning stove made out of old 18-wheeler wheels and we devised a 25 gal drum that would drip used motor oil in there to supplement and jump start the wood burning. It really heated that place up!
