Satin Nickel Compact
Phantom
Bill

Ghost
Masada

Like a kid in a candy store.

Ouch, I get mine at cost, they still want a small fortune.

I'm not a car guy so anytime I deal with any of this it is an uneasy time.

They are all pretty sweet. There are a few on here who can attest to that.

I typically get mine through Tire Rack. If you need any help, I enjoy this stuff more than I should.

 

[Birds Away]

I really want the Redhead...but I really want the Satin Nickel...or the Phantom. Yes, I want the Phantom...or maybe the Ghost...or Bill. Yes, I really want Bill...or maybe the Redhead...or the Satin Nickel.....

When I deal with car maintenance...or anything to do with the car I am very likely to get screwed. The kind with no kisses.

 

[Birds Away]

Oh, and it's snowing here.

 

[Hoosier45]

I need tires too. Putting it off as long as I can.

Yep same here. Not a car guy either

Another nice thing about NOT having two BMWs anymore. No more offset tires sizes that wear out faster than a CM keyboard.

You guys all pay $300 for oil change and tire rotation, right? And they recharge the overload capacitor for free?

I am with you on that. My first car I ever got, I leased and then it got driven over my mileage limit by a ton, so I stupidly bought it out for only like $2000 less than it was brand new because I was told that was fair. I ended up owing more than it was worth and paying $350 a month for a janky car. Thankfully, my new car has a reasonable payment and I didn't lease it.

Basically, I've learned some but still would probably get screwed over if I went to buy a car or pay for car repairs and didn't take someone with me.

$300? Are you insane? I've never paid less than $399.

Feel free to reach out.

If you're ever in Lafayette, automotive solutions has a tire shop. Shameless plug, but he built his business and reputation around quality and not screwing folks over. I worked there for a bit and can attest to this.

Disclaimer, he is my godfather, but check out his reviews.

Lost our black lab two years ago. Lost our yellow lab last year. Killing me not to have a dog. But with our work schedules, a puppy would be alone 12 hours per day.

That’s been a part of the reason we are still without a dog right now.

Leasing works for a only select few IMHO but car prices today are just insane and really unaffordable with leasing or way too long financing.

I bought a Jeep not too long ago and went from buying new to DEFINITELY buying used in a few mouse clicks.
