The puyallup store just completely ****ed up one of my wheels on my acura tonight. They are closed now.

I can understand a scratch here and there or a nick but this wheel is ****ing hashed.


Just curious what kind of fight I am gonna be up against in the morning?

Dude, I don't work at Americas Tire but unless they have something posted somewhere that says that by having them install tires on your rims that you are doing this at your own risk, I would go in there and raise hell.

You did not bring them in there in that condition nor should you have gotten them back in that condition. The only problem I could see you facing is proving to them that they were not in that condition when you brought them in.

Keep us posted on what happens.

Hey john.

Just been very busy with work, family, houses, and other junk lol.

The 89 GT is gone due to emissions and not being able to afford the fuel.

Now I just need funds to work on the coupe.

Update.

They got me a new wheel today no questions asked.

They went out and looked at the wheel and immediately recognized it as tool damage and were very apologetic.

I am very happpy.

This is the second wheel this same store has replaced for me over the years.




Yeah larry. I got an offer off of craigslist that I could not refuse on the mustang so it had to go.

I had not driven the car since april and sold it about 1 month ago.


Hey EJ

Good to see you are still kicken. Me and dave were just talking about you the other day.

You still have the Coupe 4 banger turbo?

I would love to have one of those now.

Its either that or I will turbo the acura.

Turbo is good!! I will be going that route with my coupe ASAP. You should do one. 4cyl's are easy to find pretty reasonably. I got bit trying to get one REALLY cheap, but oh well.

You still got the black car?

Nope, just the 89 coupe.

A guy out in bremerton bought the 01 first of the year.



On a positive note, I got the new wheel on the Ack today and it looks awesome. Great service lol just wish it did not happen in the first place.

Good to hear they took care of your wheel issue. So you and dave were talking about me huh? I hope it didnt have anything to do with the curse of the broken blocks. How is dave doing these days? He still have the white car?

I do still have both turbo cars. Still lovin the 4 banger car. Especially with last summers gas prices. Although at 18 psi I still have to run premium.

If you do want to do a turbo 4 car let me know. I could try to hook you up on parts and knowledge. Seems the tough thing to find is a decent and cheap 4 banger car. But the drivetrain stuff is blotty everywhere.

Man I cant believe you sold your 89. Sellers remorse settle in at all yet?
Well stay in touch man. Im still at Marysville Speed but not sure for how long. Stop by if your out in that direction some sat.
