    Torque Thrust II's look good, nice choice. That's a nice looking old wagon. It is the station wagon version of my Grandfather's last car,'73 Satellite sedan, same color inside, same color outside.

    Friggin piece of broken beer bottle lodged in the sidewall.
    Deemed not repairable---NFG
    The dang tires are only a week old.
    Replaced it today and have a bill to pay..dammit.
    Murphy's Law..sucks..
    But we all take risks everytime we drive our wagons,I guess.

    A week old? I can't believe it. How in the world did you pick that up? You don't think some jerk stuck it in there on purpose, do you? Maybe I'm too much the cynic anymore.

    That stinks.

    But I did warn you to stop two wheeling it. These wagons aren't toys. :)

    I can only assume I picked it up when I drove through the local Queen's University campus when all the students were outside partying and smashing beer bottles everywhere.I do remember having to park tight against the curb since the street was narrow and cars parked on both sides.
    Good news is I got the tire replaced at half price after calling Consumer Relations at Goodyear.
    After selling their tires for 11 years,they gave me a break.
    I am back on all fours now,LOL

    Ok..i have to confess...I was working delivering pizza to the damn kids,OK?
    Yes the Waygun is a pizza car.
    Why not?
    it is a big hit with my customers and the big tips reflect that.
    I lay the pizza boxes flat and t hey never movee around orr tip over.
    I deliver for only two days out of the week,so no real harm done.

    -----That's one great looking pizza wagon!-------Here's a tip. Never haul a large fully loaded pizza sideways in a leather motorcycle saddlebag more than a few miles!========Oh heck, here's another tip. Never haul beer bottles on ice in leather saddlebags on a motorcycle either!:rofl2:Don't ask!!!!:drink:

    I normally don't like brown cars but that car with those wheels is a fantastic looking car.

    The front is so much better looking than that ugly 72 Satelite Sport Coupe.

    I think it'll fit nicely in my garage.:dance:
