Belle Tire update
Okay, so I take the Saab back to Belle Tire yesterday to get my wheels back, once and for all… Guess what? They called me saying the wheels came back and they weren’t fully refinished. I had to go back there and get my car, with the nasty chrome Pulse wheels that wobble at high speeds.
What a nightmare. So, to save about $80 by ordering tires online and having them mounted locally, I ended up spending at least 4 hours of my time to get the tires mounted and now the Saab OEM wheels fixed. Lesson learned!

I can’t believe this crazy marathon!
American wins silver, attacked runner gets bronze!
I can’t believe this poor guy from Brazil. He was winning the race with 3 miles to go and he gets attacked by some former priest from Ireland. What a mishap. I feel bad for this guy. Although he received a special award from the IOC, it still doesn’t equate to a WIN in a marathon, and a Gold Medal in the Olympics!
TRAGIC!

Belle Tire issue…
Okay, so they were kind enough to correct the problem they caused to my Saab wheels. I took my car there yesterday to get that process started. They told me it’d be about :45 to get the wheels swapped. WRONG! It took them about 2:15 to get the car back to me. I was pretty upset. On top of that, when I was driving home on the Southfield FWY, my wheels were wobbling at speeds above 50mph. I was too far to head back and have them fix it, plus, I didn’t want them delaying my life any more than it was already delayed. They told me to bring it into the store on Thursday morning. Well, I did that. Took about :57 minutes to get the car back to me. They put in some plastic rings that helped to center the wheels to my hubs. Well, it doesn’t wobble as much, and it seems to only wobble at speeds above 70mph. They said they’d call me tomorrow morning, as they’d have my wheels back at that time. What a mess. All this because I wanted to save a few bucks and order the tires online and them have a shop that didn’t sell me the tires mount them. Discount Tire’s never done me wrong. Oh well.
