Got an autozone gift card, what would you buy?

So I scored a $75 gift card at autozone...what should I buy? I still have a bunch of detailing supplies left at the pad...

1. Tire Shine, check
2. Microfiber Towels, check
3. Meguiars Wax, check
4. Car Wash soap, check

so what else can I buy? I already changed my air filter and my oil isn't due for another 3k miles...I also have 2 bottles of chevron techron fuel injection cleaner left over...so what YOU do?

claybar kit, orbital terry cloth pads, hands tools, di electric grease, anti sieze, ****, the list goes on. Hey, did you know that if you make 5 individual $20 or more purchases, AutoZone gives you a $20 giftcard for free? They dont advertise it, but if you ask them, they will give you a card to have punched out every time you spend $20 or more. Hey Andrew, why did you sell all that Castrol the other day?....dont like it anymore?

i do have 1 punch on their frequent buyers card...i know over the course of my life, i should have more than 1 punch...but they never introduced it to me until way later...so i got caught behind...oh well, i'll eventually get to the 5 $20 punches...and get my free gift card

the oil runs great...i still have some inside my engine...but i just didn't need it anymore since i'm going back to stock...and regular oil is fine if i don't plan to drive my car hard...

good call on the no antenna.. well whatever, you can keep it under your seat and rub it for good luck ..

I say keep the certificate until something breaks and you need the cash to fix it.

I've already gone through 5 punches, spent the gift card, and now have 2 punches on my 2nd card. I should have about 3 or 4, but at one time I had 3 cards with 1 punch each and lost a few...

Check the front of the card, it should be printed somewhere on the bottom right of it or read the fine print on the back, it should be there too.

Don't worry, i haven't either. Even after my 1700 mile trip back to Louisiana. I went through rain, and my car is so covered with bugs and bird crap, it's almost gag-inducing

I need to get some more scratch-x, along with some detailing supplies so i think auto zone is on my to-do list for tomorrow, too.

A bunch of oil and filters. Nothing mechanical, as Auto Zone doesn't sell high quality stuff that lasts forever like the wholesale priced online Nissan dealerships that only sell OEM parts.
