I wont put this any importance list but from living the ghetto for so long I do have a list stuff that would be handy..

1. Tires. I’ve seen some people with some poor ass balding tires that are on there last leg. Its a danger to you and the others on the road.
2. Brakes. I cant believe how many times a week I hear metal on metal contact from brakes.
3. Lug nuts. This sorta goes along with the tire thing and I’ve seen cars with missing or broke studs and lug nuts missing.
4. Gas Cap. This one is funny but once you see someone with a missing cap and a rag inserted into the you kinda wonder what the person was thinking about cant even afford a few bucks for a replacement cap.

Those the major ones that have stuck out in my head from previous experience on the roads.

Thank you for your information. I will keep that in mind.

Fluids, filters, belts, bulbs, tires, brake pads – those are wearable parts.
Shocks/struts, balls joints, tie rods – a few parts that you do NOT want to let go to crap.

AND if the car in question is a Ford or Mazda with the CD4E transaxle, you will need a few of those during the life of the vehicle. Yes I am bitter. :angry:
