And if you had any honor you would have served your country like a real man
would
So you are a coward by definition (that's billieboi's definition)
Don't you find it strange that the person you revere so much actually hates
you?

Yep recently bought 5 BFG T/A 31 10.5x15 to replace my stock 30 9.5x15
with 52,000 on them. I could not wait they were a POS and nasty on
wet roads. I did the same thing checked the touque also and most of
them were wrong. Just before the spare was put on I noticed a ****
load of weight on the tire. Went in and talked to the service manager
and told hin that the ballancing was not correct. Made them break the
tire down and rotate it 180 degrees, they rebalanced it and less tha
two thirds of the weights were used. The problem young kids and no
adult supervision the service manage should learn by now that I am a
PITA. We have been doing buisness since 92 he tries and thwart.
