Introduction continued:A few weeks go by, and I drive it to adjunct appreciation day at the technical college where I teach part-time:<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Xoz1dW3TT98/T5lGMO0C8bI/AAAAAAAAANs/B8F0JliRzdA/s0/IMG_20110811_111027 (Copy).jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />... to pick up some meds for my cat from the vet:<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-8tjj2GbyqGM/T5lGNFti6NI/AAAAAAAAAN0/967upCjKp_A/s0/IMG_20110715_142154 (Copy).jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />..and home:<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Pu0GyVroSG8/T5lGAPw2BcI/AAAAAAAAANc/FoYei0sGWak/s0/IMG_20110715_131814 (Copy).jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I do some work on it here and there, fixing some little things over the winter. In February, I need to get two new tires for my 240 (daily driver), so I decide to cash in on my lifetime alignment deal with Firestone:<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-JaUC8rFFduQ/T5lGQJljneI/AAAAAAAAAN8/QGYjUYq2pGc/s0/IMG_20120205_082235 (Copy).jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It rides soooooo much better now. Although, I never did square my k-member (UPR Tubular) and I'm regretting it. They couldn't get my alignment spot on because of it. That is on the to-do list. The handling was much more predictable, which was great, because two weeks later I had a sidewall separation at ~80mph on the interstate:<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2tdwJTaIKNA/T5k-8SpMEXI/AAAAAAAAAFs/f5M-pKXC8A8/s0/IMG_20120224_080537%20%28Copy%29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Front passenger tire:<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Qt-VhDZqJgg/T5k-7nSJJ0I/AAAAAAAAAFk/4uwSMwnCRaA/s0/IMG_20120224_080522%20%28Copy%29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rmZZ_i0nHNs/T5k-7aGIb_I/AAAAAAAAAFc/_Kt_Xn41Bnw/s0/IMG_20120224_080514%20%28Copy%29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-HQcFjIFKCKo/T5k-6QaVqfI/AAAAAAAAAFU/orx35gawvEQ/s0/IMG_20120224_080510%20%28Copy%29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />As scary as it was having the car attempting a Dick Van Dyke-intro sidestep into the middle lane, it was pretty funny watching the guy in the Tacoma next to me drop his jaw, his cell phone, and presumably shit his pants. Especially when said asshole was previously riding my ass and flashing his high beams because apparently ~80mph in a 65 isn't fast enough, even with a line of cars in front of me.</blockquote>
