Put mine on last week. Since December I've done the upper and lower control arms and bushigs, front brake rotors and pads, new tires, and just this week new tie rods. It goes in Tuesday for an alignment. The front end had better feel perfect after that. It's been nice not hearing the tires for the past week, though. The old snows were on their last bit of tread. Very noisy.

Good point you bring up twins... Everyone seemed to laugh about the soft 'corinthian' leather thing way back when after the story leaked that it was just made up gibberish by some chrysler exec. Unlike 'dakota' or 'nevada' or 'nappa' leather which as we all know is the real deal as it comes off of German cows named dakota, nevada, and nappa.

I would rather swap the tires out myself

We usually get the odd snow-storm in April here in Toronto but if that happens I'll just work from home.

He barely has enough room to shimmy next to his car something tells me DIY ain't in the cards.

He could probably pull it out of the garage though.
