Yay. Now my car is SAFE!!



DAMN!!

Pep Boys SCREWED me.

See my thread on the rocco forum for pics -

But I paid $59.99 for the alignment. Not bad, about average. $36.99
for each of 2 Cooper Futura Touring tire. Misc tire disposal fees and
balancing brought it to a total of $188.44

Oh. Though I should expect an actual ADJUSTMENT if the alignment was
off!! What the hell? I HATE ALL CAR PLACES!! Why?!!? WHY!? *cries*
