I buy all Goodyear or Dunlop because of my former/retired employee discount. I find the tires on line, apply the discount code, and they're delivered to my local Goodyear service center. He was "misinformed" about the Eagle F1's too. Unless he considered it special order for anything they don't have in their shop at the time. When I bought mine they checked the computer for inventory and found two tires in two different locations on the east coast. Took two days to get them in with no shipping charges involved. I have a coupon code that allows you to shop on the Goodyear website and order the tires you want (Goodyear or Dunlop) and have them delivered to your local service center with no shipping charges. When ordering you enter the coupon code and it gives a 25% discount. If you put it on your Goodyear credit card like I do you have 6 months no interest to pay them off and depending on the time of year you can get up to a $120 Visa gift card to boot.I've made this offer before on here with no takers, but I'll offer it again. I have one extra coupon code that I'll give someone, but only if you're sure you're gonna use it. I only get four a year that are good for up to four tires each. Family has two called for and I'm holding one for myself, so if anyone's interested PM me. Oh yeah... sorry about the thread drift. To stay on topic. I'm taking the Mini to PT today.
Very nice of you to make such a generous offer. Wish I needed tires now. Driving your MINI over to PT makes you a PT Cruiser. :wink:
Watched the snow melt on mine. Might be 60 on Saturday, seems like it might be a good day to see if it will even start after sitting for 2 weeks. If so, a drive shall be in order.
Hope to see 40 on Saturday for a rinse of the salty red Mini. The other one, well, it's clean and hasn't seen the outside of the garage since November. It will stay in there for at least another month. Last night I got a package with StopTech rear braided brake lines, the first part to arrive in prep for my spring brake overhaul. Lots of other pieces are still on the way, and even more need to be purchased yet to deal with two Minis.
Yep, the needles are still going to be orange, but they will match the AutoMeter gauges better, should be interesting to see how the needles light up when done.
Going to get the bike and the black one out of the garage on Sat. supposed to be almost sixty. They both need exercised.
It was 71* here today and the wind is howling out of the south, you all should get it tomorrow or even sooner at this rate! I drive the Blue Max to school today, but if we're gonna have this nice weather, I need to get Buzz out again....
Mid fifties and sunny here, I drove all over the city running errands, like it was a REAL CAR or something. Weird. No issues, no warning lights, no drama. Tonneau makes it nice and real car-ish. Can stash stuff under there when I go shopping (just nothing super valuable). I love having a functional MINI again!
The Porker said it was 74 on my way home from work today! Got home, and sprayed the Rat's new gauge needles... Did a Dodge Header Orange base coat on the center caps first, ten mixed up some neon orange additive into some clear and sprayed everything down with that. I hate mixing neons, they have to be saturated in reducer, then added to the clear or it just clumps up... The picture doesn't do the brightness any justice, but they are neon orange, and do glow under a black light. Yes the needles themselves are still transparent, and the sides were masked off so everything will illuminate as it should at night. Won't be able to test them until I can get the Chrono-Crap coded out. I'm excited to see what the semi transparent top coat on the needles does to the lighting though.
Plasti-dipped the hood scoop black. Not sure if I like it or not. And the new Pilot Super Sports are fantastic
Went to the Stealer and bought wheel arch molding clips to secure rear passenger side arch molding. Replaced the windshield wipers blades. Tomorrow will be 65 degrees and sunny. Don't call...I won't be here.
Did a bit if a happy dance when it fired right up after sitting 2 weeks, some of that bitter cold. Then went for a hoonigan type drive. :ihih:
I'm driving the Cooper today, tomorrow, and maybe Sunday now that the weather has returned to "normal". Unfortunately, the Cooper will play the part of the groundhog Sunday night and go back to his "hole" [aka garage stall] as we get ready for our remaining weeks of Winter.
Parked my coupe, took a rental sonata until chicago..realized how addicted i am to the manual transmission.. Oh God, left leg was searching for the clutch while the right hand was trying to shift the gears...it was a horrible experience driving a sonata.. Gonna miss coupe, for the next 3 weeks
