Anyone know where I can get some wheels mounted for a good price? Last shop that mounted my wheels broke a TPMS and it cost me $200 to get it replaced from the dealership

Thanks

Is anyone near Roy Washington and a civilian? I went down this turn road and turned on gravel traction. I was going 25 mph maximum. The road was a dead end, so I turned around. Down the road there was a woman, two men, a dog, and a teenager. One of the men assualted my car window as I attempted to drive by him (slowly) and the other man got in front of my car. The woman was screaming that she was going to call the cops and the man standing in front of my vehicle was yelling that if I hit his kid he would make sure I didn't drive.

Now that being said, I am a combat veteran and recently returned from Afghanistan. I am also a medic and have seen some horrible ****. I was also wounded outside of combat by a fuel fire. The point of me saying those things is that, at this point I could feel those old combat feelings coming back, so I stayed in the car and told them to move.

Here is the bottom line. I looked at filing a report with the local police, but it is a small town so chances are I would get ****ed over. And since the incident was not answered by an officer it would all be hearsay anyway. Does anyone know if I have other options?

I also find it shocking that the state enforced its sales tax laws and supplies a massive vehicular infastructure in which to use your vehicle with the expectation that citizens would be on the hook to pay for such things.

Tax is applied at the time the debt is incurred as a mechanism to collect taxes from your monthly payments would be absurdedly expensive and a waste of tax dollars. Lastly, any payment agreement you have with the bank is private party. The title of the vehicle was transferred so taxation was enforced.

Did you mean tires mounted? If it's tires you can get all 4 mounted and balanced provided they are off the car for $50 from here, they operate out of their home in Renton on their spare time after 5:00 pm.

The diesel will be questionable as a "world" motor considering the vast differences in particulates which the EU/Asia considers "bad" and what the good ol' U S of A considers "bad".

Read: whatever Ford/GM?Chrysler lobby for.

^ I feel like I saw this on another media site...

Sometimes it seems as though facebook makes the forums not necessary unless your looking for parts to buy!

I've already mentioned this a few times. As a new media source (FB) entered the market there is a little bit of competition between the two. However EvoM has a great deal of technical resources and a stronger user base (related to Evo's and ownership).

Personally I think the FB site is worthless as we have EvoM, but a lot of people would fall asleep behind the wheel unless they were driving while shaving and talking on the phone. For those people, they can traffic both sites and double post their pics, doubling their street cred.
