    We'll I went shooting yesterday at kingsbury and took my 9mm reloads (first time reloading). Everything went great, all went boom no hiccups whatsoever. Now time to stock up for the meet and shoot.

    Yes the same stuff i would like to carry.
    My sis told me 2004 but the info she sent days 2009.
    I confirmed it was 2009.
    Intrepid has 18g tank.
    2wd i believe.

    That is what I'm not to happy about the gas consumption.
    Right now i travel just 20 miles a day to,from train and that is all.
    I don't need anything fancy,
    A couple of miles a gallon isn't going to kill you. It looks like you might drive 8K miles a year, judging by what you said on your tire. That would be about 400 gallons of gas at 20 MPG. At 17 MPG you are talking 471 gallons. At $4 a gallon that is $284 a year.

    So can someone tell me why just west of willow slough, which I believe is St Anne, how in the world it can be so ghetto in that immediate area. Second time I've taken that route and it scares me to death...

    Cost was $150 for 2 new tires, wheel alignment, and rotation of back tires to front and new good year to the back.
    Plus a new lugnut, free, since they broke one.

    That's a really good price. What was the deal? Did they give you money off because of the old tires? My front tires are bald, I'm trying to figure out if I should buy 2 or 4.

    In other news, I will probably be selling my 686. Bought brand new at the beginning of this year. 6-shot, 4" barrel. Round count probably a couple hundred. $700 including about 100 rounds of various .357 ammo. Thought I'd let you guys know first.

    Because we agreed it was defected tires plus user error pot holes.
    So we meet half way on the good year tires as oppose to the coopers.
    I bought the coopers from them as well.

    Jedi wants what jedi wants.
    284 more per year is 284 less for food at meet and shoot and ammo.
    Sho you want to be the one to tell three thugs no food since you told jedi to get a new ride?

    Could use the money. I found a nice used model 14 at the gun show last week that can be my nightstand gun, and I can recoup a few hundred dollars.

    Thugs, schmugs.

    If you want better gas mileage there are a plethora of choices out there.

    You have to decide how much you want to spend and what criteria are most important to you.
