Adding snow tires would double its value. ;-) Actually, it's touch and go whether the car will last another winter, so snow tires aren't likely a decent investment. I would be better off buying a newer vehicle, but I'm so cheap it hurts. I think I have to imagine a newer car as an investment in my family's safety, rather than an investment in a rusting, expensive, depreciating money pit. Sounds like an idea for a blog post, BCM?

I need to get new all-season tires, so I best do it soon. Winter tires seem to be a killer on gas mileage. Thanks for the reminder about the snow tires.

Apologies, me and the English language are not seeing eye to eye these days. --C8j So what I should have said was, that I have to bring up IE, log into my account and then do the download manually, to get new transactions into my Quicken.

Save the data as a QIF file (if you can). The QIF file can be saved to your desktop then be imported into your Quicken & deleted off your desktop. Done. Much easier than inputting manually. Hope this helps. I had this happen with one of my credit cards & my son showed me how to still do a download. Save the data as a QIF file (if you can).
