I buy tires at Discount and pay the extra warranty thing. Cause if/when you get a flat, they buy back your old tires and Put the money back towards a whole new set. Important for the Quattro or AWD guys. And the free balance and rotates are cool too.

As far as which tires, I research on Tirerack.com and see which ones I can afford, then I get em at discount tire.

hahahaha.

Never mind on tires guys....

Some guy decided he was going to pull out of a parking lot, cut across traffic and turn left without being able to see at all and totaled my car so I guess I wont be needing tires after all....

I swear some people should just give their licences back

Thanks for the concern everyone. The family is okay... we werent going fast enough for the airbags to deploy thankfully, but I am a little broken hearted after just having put over $3500 of work into it at phil long.

I dont care about the money so much as everyones safety and for that I am truly thankful.
They guy hit me hard enough to move me into the other lane.
After i made sure my gf and the baby were okay i asked him what the hell he was thinking and he actually said "I couldnt see there was too much traffic"
So you decided to just go for it without being able to see at all? Thanks man...

Here she is

Glad you and the family are ok. Are you buying the car back from the insurance company?

I probably wont be buying the car back due to me moving soon. If anyone is interested i can give you the price the insurance gives me for it and you can take it, but i dont have time to try and part it out before i leave.

I have to say I'm curious as to what the insurance company wants for it, but I doubt I can convince the wife to let my buy another car. Especially one that needs so much "buffing".

Where are you moving to?
