    Well on my wife's car I don't go with out, her tires are paper thin and would pop if she ran over a sewing needle.

    So coming from the source then, how often do you replace thicker tires, but specifically the BFG's. I know you are only one store and people don't have to have it replaced at the same store, so you store doesn't reflect the whole.

    I agree, like I said before, if I don't get the insurance, something will happen.

    All true points.

    I remember thinking all of the grasses at the casinos in Vegas were super green and lush. Then I sat down in some of it at one of the places and realized it was that nice synthetic turf. They obviously have the cash to blow for that kind of thing.

    Depends on the type of BFG. And what's happened to it.

    Run it too low, too fast, for too long and you'll need a new tire. Get too big of a screw/nail/piece of metal and your tire's done.

    Overall, it all depends on what you hit when you're driving. I've seen everything from a pair of scissors going in backwards in the inner sidewall of a tire to a military issue K-Bar stuck in a 10ply.
    Now, all that being said, on a busy day we replace about 15-20 tires. That's with a goal of about 135 units a day. Out of those, maybe 2-3 will be heavy duty tires.

    Can you drive stick? Once I get it all sorted out (need some new bushings for the diff and suspension) then we'll take it out.

    What phone did you get? I just got an HTC One last week. Coming from an iPhone it's certainly different but I like it a lot thus far.

    Do you know where in SAT?

    If no one is able to help you out, my brother-in-law lives there, I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

    Oh yeah, my last two trucks were stick. :burnrubber:

    Lucky! (/napoleon) I wanted the One, but got the EVO 4G LTE (Sprint's version of the One X) instead. Best Buy had it for free on contract and couldn't pass it up. Not the latest and greatest, but still two phone generations newer than what I had. I'd like to see how the IR sensor works for a remote on that One.

    We'll cruise one day. Gimme like a month to get it right.

    What apps do I need? I came from an iPhone so I'm learning this android thing.

    I got a pretty decent media center remote app called Media Center Control. I like it thus far.

    Excellent!

    I don't have much else to do. Just fill up the propane tank, and pick up a 2nd battery.
