I agree on that Z... it's for someone, just not me!
And those Firestones? I have 19000 miles on my 2000 Buick Regal... those
wonderful Firestones on it are bald already??!?!? I regularly rotate and
balance the tires too. The dealership gave me some song and dance about "
well, you know those bigger cars go through tires..." I think it's time
for a good ole warranty action and tell them what they can do with those
Firestones! Next new car, I will have Michelins installed before that car
leaves the lot.
Roadster content... God help me, I am working on buying #6... a '68
1600.
