For  example the next big expenditure will probably
be the tires, they'll cost  me about $500 for 5 of them. Peters shocks will
set me back $110/pair. If I  can possibly save the $110 I can put it towards
the  tires.


Just a suggestion Dan, but why buy 5 new tires?  Buy 4, keep  your best old 
one to limp in on and spend the difference on the shocks.  
 
When I bought the new chrome wires for my Midget, I didn't buy a spare at  
all.  I was going to eliminate it completely, but I ended with a damaged  old 
wire wheel that I may put back in the trunk.  Maybe not.  A couple  of cans of 
inflator will fix any normal flat, and anything more than that may  call for a 
tow.  I have tow insurance coverage.

"A strong  body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I 
advise the gun.  While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives 
boldness, enterprise  and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, 
and 
others of that  nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on 
the mind. Let  your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."
