I think I threw a weight already. Its that or the wheel is bent enough to be a problem but I didn't notice a vibration driving home from the tire place. It wasn't until I got on 66 a few days later that the vibration showed up.

ahh.. The wheel isn't bent just the lip. Did they use tape weights? if they did you need to put some duct tape over the weights to keep them from flying off... Look inside the wheel and there should be glue on the wheel if the weight fell off...

Rob, how's the garage holding up in the rain? I have an extra sub. pump if you need it. It's not the fastest thing but it's better than nothing.

Dang vibration. Went to Craven and got the front tires rebalanced. It took 3.5 hours for them to get it done. No weights missing but both were off by .5. Since that is taken care of, I notice a vibration in the seat. Time to get the rear wheels done. I am going to hit up Joe for an alignment before I head down to the CI and hopefully before Skyline.

took my car to the tuner today... And fixed the drain issue, hope....

Yesturday was a crap day. I was sitting on the side of 81 for 4 hours because my dad's truck broke down. We were going to pick up a car in NC. When we finally got there at 10pm and it was snowing. Blizzard conditions. Didn't get home until 5am sunday. Busy busy busy.
