    Same here. My old Chrysler’s tires are rotting away. Bought them new Douglas brand at Walmart. Old P/U bough used ones. The Pontiac needs a set, broken belt. I’ve had so many broken belts, once they’re 5 yrs old. My Jeeps got good tread, but old man only drove 2000 miles per yr. they’re dry rotted. I’ll run them out some more. Don’t really go anywhere, just local.

    Request denied. Maybe we can hook you up with some Detroit River water though. I think there's an old pumping station on Zug Island.

    Drives are long gone. I’ve got 6 old steers a used Bridgestone, and a ??? The Bridgestone has a lot of tread. Others??? One needs replaced now. I’d like to put 4 new on rear axle, then 4 new in a yr. on rear again. Move rears to front. They all wear out the same that way. No rotating. All depends on what kind of deal I find. Problem is, usually have to buy 8 to get a deal. I’d rather have 4 new on rear axle, and 4 steers at 50%, Just got new steers. I really want replace the whole front end, it’s all original with over 2 million miles. Then alignment and tires. Now my right steer starts wearing funny about 80k. I’ve been flipping it around, and buying steers at about 130k, Putting them on the drives. Trucks never had an alignment. Last thing on my list. Been through almost everything else, except rears. Trans will be due again soon I suspect. It’s got 1.3 mil or more. It’s amazing how long some Parts will last. It’s all new to me. Never had a Truck over 1 million before this one. I’ve been fixing it up as I go along, Over 12 yrs now. Always makes the trip. Lol.

    The Great Lakes Coalition is keeping the water. Sorry, you’ll have to buy Nestle bottled water to get any. They’re stealing it now, not for long though.

    The pumping Station near Belle Isle supplies Detroit, far as I know. Good water. Lots of chemicals from Port Sarnia chemical plant. No wonder everyone’s got cancer around here.

    Those chinese tires are great until you find that they leak through the sidewalls. Tho I am happy you feel confident with them.

    Is that snow on your windshield?
