    No, these are General Tire G-MAX AS-03s...great tires, but not so great when my wife is doing her daily routine in our pothole-filled city, I guess.

    took the wife's car in to get the tire fixed today and it was a no-go...the sidewall was ripped in a 10 inch gash. she vaguely remembers the steering getting really wobbly so she limped to a parking lot across the street from where it happened and saw the flat the AAA guy told her the tire was trashed, or I suppose she woulda tried driving on home.

    now I know why her car's in such bad shape...she never really pays attention to what's happening until sumpin baaad happens [and never tells me about it til it happens].

    Nothing Mini related. Jeep.......I hate Jeeps!

    Long Motorcycle ride yesterday, 9 hours and 11 min when it was all done. I was on my way home, asl I went through Jackson TN my wife called. I know it must be important so I pulled over, she told me my daughter was broke down on I40 about 35 miles ahead of me, she was half between Jackson and Memphis. The alternator went bad. I told my wife what tools to bring and parts to stop and get and bring them to me. I hit the gas found my daughter and her friend on the shoulder.
    When My wife got there I changed the alternator and belt. The old one had locked up and she drove till the Jeep died. I tried charging the battery for 30 min but it just made it to an exit where we parked it for the night.
    Today my wife and I took the battery out of the R53 went back only to find the alternator was not charging. Went and exchanged it only to find the second one not working. Turns out the exciter wires are not sending a signal. Finally called a tow, I wasn't sure the battery would make it home. so it sits in the driveway like a Raven saying Never More Never More. I hate Jeeps!!
    I think its the PCM but what do I know about Jeeps.

    You haven't lived till you have changer an alternator on the interstate. I'll save the story about blowing by the MC riding in formation. I found out last night my Indian can cruse very fast without even thinking about it.

    While driving to work this morning, I noticed my glove box no longer rattles when going over some bumps. So I opened it, and it didn't open. Seems the handle is no longer attached to the latch. I found this on the floor of my car. [​IMG]

    Does anybody know how to attach it back on....with the glove box door closed. I can't open it.

    Great, thanks. The FB pics don't show a magnetic mount....better than the clamp. Do they offer that?

    Yes this is true, but it sure is better than making a landlord richer. :Cigar:
