Headlight and Right-Side Brakelight on '02

Took the '02 for its state inspection in early April. The inspector (Alan's Vehicle Inspections) said a headlight and rear right-side brakelight were out so I had them replace it there.

04/11/09: The '98 lost a tire valve cap and the rear right tire was down to 15 psi.

04/11/09: Swapped the '01 and '98's batteries since it's more of a hassle for me to have a dead battery in Austin so I got to learn how to change the battery. It was much easier than I expected, except having to fish the hook around in a narrow dark crevice to secure the strap. Next thing to learn is to change motor oil. :)

Not much need to RainX parents' cars windshields since they never drive in the rain anyway. The use of it in Austin is even dubious since rain in Austin is infrequent and brief.

04/18/09: '98 had trouble stopping on wet roads. Noticed '98 tires tend to slip more. May replace with better ones despite decent tread left.
