I had promised to drive a good friend of mine to a job interview in one of the surrounding suburbs. While she was in there, I thought I might as well use my time for something constructively. Before I left home I googeled the town and "tire shop", and whatta ya know, they had a fairly big one which I visited.
I walked in and asked a guy about wheel weights. He look strangely at me and went "Hmmm... follow me"! OH MY GOD... they had 2 55 gal drums each filled about 80% with weights [smilie=p:
The manager wasn't there and the guy couldn't promise me anything, but i think worst case scenario is that I have to match what the scrap dealer pays him! I'll go back next week to talk to the manager.
Now the next problem is how am I gonna stuff all those weigths into my brand new Fiat Punto :-(? I'm gonna have to do multiple tours I think, 200 lbs at a time.
My momma's gonna kill me :-o!! I already have +500lbs stacked up in buckets outside the back of their house. I'll have to turn on the charm and bribe her with lawnmoving and other helpfull stuff over the summer [smilie=l:
