	FUTURE: Oil needs to be changed.

12/13/25	Periodic run & drive-around of vehicle: It started right up, drove fine, and AC works good. With compressed air, I blew a TON of dust/dirt out from the front of the AC condensor & trans cooler, and I also blew out the entire engine compartment.
Summer 2025	Periodic run of vehicle.
5/24/25 SAT	I installed a battery disconnect switch to the negative terminal. I showed Amber how to use it. I installed a new positive lead terminal as the old one wouldn't tighten to the battery post. I had to lightly hammer the terminal down onto the post; hopefully this hasn't caused the post the area to leak acid in the future.
5/15/25 THU	morning> I went to where Amber's Jeep is parked - in the Joel H place of business in GA. I added 4.3 gallons of fresh gasoline to the tank. I tried jumping it but the battery is completely shot and won't take a charge. I went to Walmart, got a replacement battery of the same exact type Everstart Maxx, and replaced it. I went to crank car, and it cranked for 30-45 seconds and finally fired up. Car is in good driveable condition. I was able to return the old 2 year-old battery to walmart under a 3-year replacement warranty for a FULL refund including core refund. Car was later transported back to Cape Coral, FL.	128,266
10/31/24-5/15/25	Car had mostly been in outdoor storage and not used.
Approx 3/4/24	Russ took vehicle to a shop and they want to charge him $3400 for a new rear differential (!). Callnotes with Russ:"Burns alot of gas. Took it to a place Bad rear axel, something something Get her a new car, but the problem is she doesnt want to make car payments I bought the axel, i had them order it. Rear axel differential. $3450. He charged it on his credit card for the piece $3400. She turns the steering wheel right, it grinds Goes over a bump AMS light. Confirmed rear differential. Using alot more gas. Put $30 in it. Had to drive to Fort Myers then back to Naples. "
1/1/23	Brokedown Plastic heater hose connector broke last night belching out coolant and leaving A & R stranded. Upon noticing overheat, they pulled over right away. Car was towed to McGregor mobile home. I could not find a 45degree connector, so I replaced it using a 90 degree connector instead.
6/2/23	Brake Hose Leak Found a puddle near RF wheel: Determined RF brake hose is split and leaking. Took it to Tire Choice right next to the Best Western Naples Plaza. They looked at it then called me with a ridiculous $900 repair estimate telling me the front brakes are metal on metal and that the RF caliper is leaking also and I need rotors & pads. I walked over there and looked at it. I pointed out the only problem is the RF brake hose. The caliper is not leaking and the rotors are smooth. The brake pads might be getting thin but I can do that myself at some point. I advised do RF hose, LF hose (preventative), and exchange/flush/bleed brake system. 6/4/24> Hoses arrived and job has been completed. Ready to pickup. After asking for a discount, the total is $326.11 out the door. 6/5/23> Picked up car. Confirmed both RF and LF hoses were replaced (shiny metal fittings). Clerk said it has a 1yr warranty parts & labor. I went to test drive the car and it RAN OUT OF GAS. Luckily there was a gas station 500 feet away. Filled the tank and tested the brakes. I did 2 hard stops, the car remained tracking straight, and the antilock kicked in both LF & RF; I am satisfied with the braking performance and subsequently, the repair. Note: From car not running to a full fuel tank took 16.4gallons.	110,220
5/8/23	Car wouldn't crank Determined battery is bad. Replaced battery with Walmart Everstart MAXX H6. Warranty: 3yr Replacement (confirmed with clerk in Automotive dep't: no pro rated warranty)	110,010
