    NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, save ALL the reciepts, just don't add them up until you need to . I ditched a lot of receipts on my old house back when they closed the tax break for home improvements. A few years later I ended up renting the place for a few years and classified it an investment property. EVERYTHING I ever did to it or spent money on (including property taxes while it was a rental) was applied is one way or another to offset gains when I ended up selling it. I short sold it, claimed the losses and took home 4x my normal tax return that year. It would have been more if I could have documented some of the other things I chucked the receipts for. I lost $$ overall, but the tax return at least offset a significant portion of the loss.

    Do a Peter Lefleur (dodgeball) get a box for the "keepers", you never know what the future will hold, I never thought I was going to be stuck with an upside down house, renting, short selling..

    I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.

    Looks Nice. I drive past your house every day. I bought a house a few blocks down on North Drive in Wyandotte last winter.
