I have little stickers on my cars that say "Look all You Want but Please Don't Touch".

I'm changing them to "Touch my Car and I'll Kill Ya"

Default It's not a game JM

jmimac351 JM I only went by what you wrote on the thread. This is not a game when playing with a cobra. Car or animal. At times the car is both. You said you already tested the speed limit, 80 mph, and found a problem you said nothing about getting the tires balanced. I would have thought when you got the tires mounted this would have been done at this time. With almost 30 years in the auto repair bussiness I have not seen many people buy tires and install them on there cars without a balance. Most also get a wheel alignment. Farmers in my area don't balance tires for the field trucks. This is not a game, and alot of people think it's funny until someone gets hurt or killed. We get NEW people who just brought a cobra and no NOTHING about these cars. Read info here and see you where lucky with your BB tires without a balance done. Next you know someone says JM's car is fine with this being done. Take the car out, open it up and the party is over. I know you where just telling us that on your car the tires are not to bad to drive at low speed. You know this, I know this, but beginners don't. I choked Francis ( SYCO ), 2cups of tea a day for caffeine, Gald you are getting the tires balanced. Have a nice day, enjoy a nice drive in the car. Rick L.

Default All you need is a good lawyer

Excaliper Ernie Today all you need is a good lawyer and deep pockets. Most of todays society takes NO responsiblity for there actions. They blame everyone and everything but themselves. They don't read the side of every tire they look at, No nothing about DOT, but this tire looks sharp on my car. Tires go on the car and 5 minutes later the car is in an accident, WHY because they where not told and didn't sign off on the contract about driving the car easy for the first 500 miles to get some heat cycles in the tires and get the protective covering off the tires from driving. Who's fault is it's Ernie? There is a lawsuit pending right now against Firestone for just this case. 3 kids and 2 adults in the MPV. All hurt no one bad. Suit is for millions. IMO they should get rid of bias tires, unless they are the Cooker tire for the cars from the 09 to the 40's and are show cars only. Major law suits against the Ford explorer for roll over issues. Nater kill the CJ-5 jeeps with the same thing. I own 3. I put one on it's side from 4 wheel in a plowing mud field and doing power slides. No one hurt, no damage to me or my 2 friends, laughed about it and put jeep back on wheels and drove off. Jamo would be the one to ask about this kind of law suit. Jamo?? Ernie have a nice day, go easy on those pineapple cocktails. Rick L.

Rick, you and I don't know one another.

If you really read what I wrote then you would see why they weren't balanced. Your reading comprehension sucks.

I appreciate your concern but I suspect it's just in your nature to lecture people you don't know. FYI, until the Anti-Christ is elected in November and Communism is imposed I can do whatever the smell I damn well please and, quite frankly, I am unconcerned as to what your opinion of it is.

Don't piss me off. Charlton Heston died.

Where am I, Pluto!?!?!
