Default 4 flats, that's right, 4!

So, I'm drivin along today, when the ute in front of me hit a pot-hole. Off the tray of the ute came a little plastic box. What was in the box? SCREWS!!!

And how many of my tyres were punctured as a result? ALL OF EM!

LUCKILY, it happened 20 metres from a Midas, who my work has resiprical business with.

Anyways, all tyres had punctures on the inner tyre wall, so, no repair possible...

So, 4 new tyres, Suva Intensa's, 4 of em = $516. So that sucked, but, after having all the work done, I picked the car up.

The guy who did it said to me "who did your last balance & allignment?" to which I replied "it's a new car..."

He then told me that the car was set up really badly. So, with that I payed the man & drove out. Even driving out of the workshop was amazing. The new tyres & the allignment has changed the feel of the car SOOOO much, it feels like a totally different car.

It brakes better, it accelerates WAY better & it corners better.

So when I get my new fez, I may drive it straight to Midas for an alignment before heading to get the car audio install done.
