    Sigh....

    Well, so much for my tranny swap this week. Edge sent me the wrong converter for my AOD, a non lock up, instead of a locker. :( So it looks like I'll be driving my dad's crappy sunbird back to S'toon (I'm in Three Hills, AB now) instead of risking being stranded with a burnt transmission...

    Got new tires today! (pics)

    My tires came in today. They're Dayton Daytona SRs 215/60/R14 front and 235/50R14 rear. I had them mounted on the Keystone mags I got at the wreckers a couple weeks ago. A little polishing and wire brushing and they look decent. I think the new tires and rims really set it off:
