I know AutoZone isn't the store for performance parts, so let's hear what you would buy if you were in my position. So far all I can think of is stocking up on detail products and micro fiber cloths. Remember! Your limit is $120! GO!

A box of Lucas Oil fuel injector cleaner probably. It's the only non-repair item I buy there usually. I run a bottle every 3-5 tanks or so.

Right now German Castrol Syntec and filter deal for $30.

I would go back each day or different stores and stock up on oil changes.

Lots of oil I guess...or a window motor for the inevitable failure.

Gift cards are good for a while, so wait until you need oil, cleaning supplies, or other items from them. That would be better then going to buying something just to buy it.

Oil, cleaning supplies, wipers, extra bulbs, seafoam, possibly a poly trans mount. I think they carry Energy Suspension parts

The Lucas suggestion was very good. I would lean that way also. I just bought a box of HEET additive when it was on sale. With this horrible ethanol situation attracting water (moisture) into the gas tanks, it is wise to throw in a bottle every month. Sta-bil just came out with a product that does the same thing, just for the ethanol problem. Besides that I would stock up on oil (on sale) and like you said, any detailer products that you like, again on sale. Enjoy!!
