Scary Thought....
What if this thing fell over? According to the door sticker it weighs in at just shy of 12000 lbs. The jack I used made considerable squeaks and noises of disapproval. One of the jack stands isnt even resting on all four legs. And to think on this day I hadnt gotten coffee til afternoon...wtf?
Well I got the new rims in, and unlike what the dude said, I DO need new lug nuts. Nobody in town has em, and the ones who can order em cant get 32 like I need. One lady quoted me 13 bucks a nut, which all said and done would cost close to $450, more than the price of the wheels...shipped. So looking back online I find that I get a discount for a quantity order of more than 15, and can ship quick for $.60 a nut. $20 is way better. People in SFe are dumb. Like yesterday, nobody wants my money. I go to the tire place and theyre busy. Instead of telling me to just drop off the tires and hell get to em later, he tells me to come back some other day! The guy at the other tire place was quoting me rims and saying how much Im gonna save in shipping as I watch him add $29 per wheel in labor. Apparently the $70 I paid and the $120 he wanted for a week later delivery are the same thing. I am completely unaware.
When will this road trip ever start? I now have a plethora wheels for sale, come and get em.
Note: Zambi is so guilty at everything last night she had pasta hanging out of her mouth and looked at us like, "what?"
