I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
Count your blessings -- on my first drive with Dad I almost killed us both and cause another vehicle to almost swerve into a phone pole.

ah yes, I remember driving with Nineteen... and realizing that Fifteen isn't far away. :hide:

It's the cost of doing business.

Get it balanced before it costs some rubber too.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Ouch, and of course on a Merc that's a couple of grand. :tongue:
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

NOT!

Pre-owned and in damn near new condition wheels for this car are about $250-$400 for a matching set of 4.

Mark - I feel your pain and I have all boys :( Went out with "16" for 3+ hours yesterday and he is getting much better but we had our first trip to a downtown area which was a bit nerve-wracking for Mom. He successfully parallel parked and he's learning on a manual transmission. He got his permit late and will be 17 this summer but he has to finish the, in school, behind the wheel course before he can test for his license.
