Re: arrggh! i'm so pissed! (aka: wtb 1 tsw alpine)

["Michael Abatzis" <abatzis@hotmail.com>]

i went down there today, and got some vague claims that they'll find out
who's responsible and reimburse me; they said it was a utility that had
"failed to cover properly". turns out 3 of my friends hit the same damn
thing yesterday; one ruined a nitto rim/40 series z rated tire. they
repaired it that night, so i couldn't get a picture of the hole. i DID get a
picture of the pavement chunk they excavated, which was next to the fixed
hole: 4 x 4 x 1'.  tried to order a new rim today-- discount tire direct has
stopped carrying it, told me it will be AT LEAST 6 weeks till they can get
it. if anyone has or knows where i can get a TSW Alpine, 15 x 6.5", 40 mm
offset, PLEASE PLEASE let me know (email me direct). otherwise maybe i'll
have to get them to replace all 4 rims...
