Got new tires on Saturday (old ones were @70,000 miles). Drove the car home, parked in garage. Did not Crash.

Got in the car Monday in the dark, pulled out, TPMS light came on. Checked tires. 2 were very low, pulled into garage, drove Suburban to work, did not crash.

Drove car back to shop Monday night, they checked, the TPMS/Valves weren't tight, they tightened, got a voucher for a free oil change for my troubles, drove home, did not crash.

Got in car today, drove two blocks, TPMS light on, drove home switched cars, did not crash, although I may crash into somebody if they don't fix it on this trip...


(A little frustrating because I've used this shop for years and never had a single return trip, so trying to give them some slack)

Sounds like it's time to have the car towed to an incinerator.

The survivors are getting bigger. Since there are no other insects in the car they can only be eating each other.
My car is now the site of the arachnid hunger games.
I may crash it!

Horrifying! I would absolutely die behind the wheel. Can you set off a bug (spider) bomb in the car? I once parked on a fire-ant hill and the first time I got in I had to bail out before I got stung to death. Set off a bomb and that got 'em. If you've ever experienced Florida fire ants you know how vicious they are.

I will spray the car on the weekend when I can leave it for a couple of days. Probably only be one or two big ones left by then though.

Too late for spray by then - best go hunting with a couple of bricks -

Drove my FRS into work today. As usual, there was some congestion. The guy right behind me took a hard whack but thankfully, he was not following me too closely.


Did not crash.

Mrs. Ho has been driving the twin to work all week. I made it nice and shiny. She had to pick up the kid at the high school a couple times. She likes being the cool Mom in the twin.


So far, no crash.
