I greased up the passenger front window regulator, checked the rear wheel bearing, and cleaned the car out. Turned out to be the drum rubbing on the backing plate, bearing was fine. I also found one of the rattling noises that I hear at idle while stopped. The door lock peg/pull tabs are loose because I removed the door panels. Now they shake and tap on the metal part of the door. I looked in my grommets and was unable to find one that fit. I think I am going to try some shrink wrap.

I decided to pick up a small paper route for some extra $$$. I am going to try and use my motorcycle on nicer mornings and use the car when it is raining and eventually gets too cold. Riding the bike should let me spend less in gas and arguably more fun.
