Good question.

I finished replacing all four tires on my AWD vehicle because it was pulling to the right due to uneven tire wear. I also learned that AWD cars do not handle uneven tire wear well, which is bad for alignment and the transmission.

Additionally, two of the wheels were damaged: one was cracked and the other was deformed.

Other parts of the city can see up to golfball sizes and i sure hope my im not under that either in or out of the car.....

Oh i drove to work...spilled lunch in the car My passenger seat got a some but at least most of the soup spilled on on the passenger side rubber mat (when i realized i needed to keep the container upright). So my car is even more filthy now lol (needs a clean inside/out.

BUT

Did not crash.

Good thing is that I don't have to worry about parking outside for my business trip next week.

And since my boss is a car guy (Focus RS) he has said he has no problem with me using the covered parking lot once the 86 is repaired.

We have a Red Robin just down the street. We've never eaten, or crashed there. Is it good?

It's a chain like Applebees, Sharies or Outback.
They used to do pretty good daiquiris last I was there 20 years ago.

Took the opportunity Thu. to drive around Hood Canal. Didn't crash.
Not driving today in the rain. Almost impossible to avoid crashing.

They have decent burgers. They also have bottomless sides.
