So,3 of my tires are bald,cracking and ready to die. and take me out with em. So yesterday finnaly had extra money to spend and went on my fun quest to 50000 shops to find 3 used decent 15" tires (which we know is hard). went to many of them with no luck. decided to stop by one last one and check this out,he had 2 almost brand spankin new hankook 235 70 15's (running 225 70 15) tires that just came in that day for $30 mounted and balanced each. So i moved the one good 225 i had to the front,and put the 235s in the rear. epic traction now. these suckers have at least 90% left on em. I still need 1 more,but...im happy.

at least you guys have snow that you could play in if you wanted to. i just got new tires and if i want to see some snow, i have to drive about and hour and a half, and then its all been pushed off the road.

so i guess you could say that i am a little jealous! but then again i dont live in it either. so we are coming from two different directions i guess you could say.

Went to O'Reilly's for some vacuum tubing, walked out with the tubing, plugs, wires, air filter, coolant and a tachometer. Got the vacuum lines fixed, plugs and wires installed, air filter and topped up the coolant.

Yeah, but Port Alberni is in the Pacific Northwest. You say "Canada" like you're stuck in Yellowknife or Dawson City. Vancouver Island is a little bit different.
