But it's true. Since I started driving mine I've noticed the tread getting thinner and thinner, especially on the back tires.

I thought I saw someone post a TSB but the search function on this site sux.

Now that you mention, it over the last two weeks I noticed that all my windshield washer fluid has disappeared!
Not sure if a curse, defective or if somebody is jealous and vandalizing my car!

I think I should start a thread and see if anybody else has the same issue. Also going to have my wife hide in the back seat next time at the gas station and if she sees somebody pour fluid into another car we will know it was them.

I'll ask my wife if she'll help me. Suggest starting a poll so we can look for a trend.

Only if we can ensure that the poll questions are asked in such a manner that the data is completely skewed to give us only the result we want!
