The fate of my GL...

[Mr. Pockets]

...is yet to be decided, but I'm getting close. I found a little tire place less than a mile from my house (well, I've seen it many, many times over the past year) that has a sign:

'Junk cars wanted.'

Long story short, the guy tells me that he can't give me any money for the GL, but will 'help me out if I ever need a favor in return.'

Fair 'nuf. I left it at that. Later that evening, when I told my wife about it, I said, 'so I want to see what brands of tires he deals in - maybe I can get a new set for the SVX.'

No response yet. Good.

'You know, because I don't drive the car that much any more - and not in snow - so it doesn't make any sense for me to have mud and snow rated tires on it.'*

Still reading her catalog. Cool. I might get away with it.

'Besides,' I started mumbling, 'we'regoingtoIndianapolisandmytiresareonlyratedto1 30mph.'

That got her attention. Briefly. I got sort of a disapproving glance, but no crazed 'ARE YOU NUTS?' or anything like that.


* Dig the logic. Go ahead and dig it. 'It just doesn't make SENSE to have those tires on that car, honey.' I need help.
