Last night was the beginning of the end. I started getting the Sunfire ready to sell. It was just the normal maintenance stuff that needed being done last night, but there'll be a few more things done to it. Also, before the Sunfire is ready to go, I still have to get some work done on the Metro.

Last night I did:
1) tire rotation
2) oil change
3) air filter change

To do yet:
1) fix evap code (small leak)
2) possibly fix A/C, though I don't know if its worth the time since the car is only worth ~$1200
3) wash and wax
4) clean up the interior
5) polish headlights (going to use the spar urethane & mineral spirits coating, I'll post it when I do it)

I'm also pretty excited to get into the Metro. With the weather getting pretty cold in the morning (30F this morning!), I've been struggling to even get 30 mpg out of the Sunfire.
