Alright so I already posted about how I got my tires rotated and balanced and all that crap at pep boys like.. last month or some crap. And they told me that my rims were bent. So I've been looking for new rims and all that good stuff.

On Monday Josh and I go to Just Tires to have his new rims put on (Pics will be up soon, don't worry lol) and I ask them if they can just look at mine and tell me if my rims are really bent.

Apparently my rims were fine and my tires were just really old and had a flat spot.

So I got new tires and all is well!! Yay!! :dance:

Moral of the story: Pep Boys sucks. :up: (well for service things at least)



And so does Best Buy (but thats another story)

Glad to hear about the rims/tires issue is fixed.

Oh and I used to work at bestbuy and I can attest to certain things there. Like the car installers putting screws through someones gas tank :shocked:

Did you get those raised white letters on your tires?
Something like this....

Yes. New tires make a world of difference on how your car will handle and drive. 'Wow, I feel like Mot250 there.' Cuz he always knows stuff about cars.

Congrates on your new parts Kyra. It rocks to have money!

Okay, so no raised white letters....at least you have some spending sense and still got tires that will keep you safe for many more miles....smart! :up:

More money to spend on the upgrade exhaust.
Be careful to keep your car emmission test legal...I've seen guys throw big bucks into a new exhaust and tune only to fail emmissions testing ...
....then more money to unbolt it all and detune so they can pass.
Screwy logic on their part.

Enjoy your time off and I also hope you find a cool job before your money runs dry.

Yeah I'm making sure to keep it legal. I don't want to have to mess with it after it's on. Ahh I can't wait!! :dance:
