Suffered a slow leak from a drywall screw in one of my 132s. There are home construction projects all around where I live and picking up a screw or nail every now and then has become unavoidable.....

Went to patch it but my tire mounting machine went suicidal. One of the 8mm pneumatic lines broke off a nipple and every time I fixed one line, another one would burst as soon as the pressure got to 100 psi. I gave up and ordered a roll of 8mm tubing and 20 quick connect nipples to replace the cone style ones.

In the mean time, strapped the 87s on the car. These are soooo good looking and without the flare extensions there is no need for spacers in the back. The front could do with a 10mm spacer but my smallest is 15mm. So, decided to go without any spacers. (Not a fan of Bridgestone tires but the ones mounted on these 87s are pretty decent, sufficient grip and not noisy despite being a bit older) They will stay on the car until Thanksgiving when the winter tires go back on.

A few weeks ago I installed fresh front shocks, new spring pads and strut bearings. This has improved ride quality significantly. It passed the emissions inspection a few days ago. Overall it has been running well as a daily driver for the kids' college commutes.
