May just be this week He got the tire issue checked, it rode well for a few days, then he had the SAME problem. He said he'* got 2 Michelins, 2 Coopers on her. He was pretty sure the two Coopers he had got were defective. So he'* getting the OTHER tire replaced this week, too, for free since he'* good friends with his tire guy. Unfortunately, he gets tires used, so they won't be new, but, hey, he said he'* going to get something better than Coopers from his tire man for the new two to replace the bad Coopers. So I get two (fairly) new tires He said they all have at least half their tread left, so they're still good, just used. Anyway, things may start moving this week, and, barring any unforseen hurricanes and/or circumstances, and hopefully a little hustle from him, I'm pretty sure we'll at least have a date for my mechanic to look at it by the end of next week. Hey, his business got some pretty bad roof damage from the last hurricane, so I'm staying cool about it, as is the right thing to do. Anyway, that'* the status of my future baby :P Jeez, I really can't wait...
