So today I spent four hours waiting for the local tire shop to swap my snow tires. I was driving around on my Summer Tires, and lets’ just say, even with four wheel drive, and a manual tranny, you still need to stop after going. I usually get this done on November 1st of every year, but I guess because of my new work arrangements (Work? LOL!) it just wasn’t a priority. I went to six tire shops and all of them were booked around the corner, and all of them were out of tires. It almost reminded me of a PS3 or Wii launch day. It was definitely a good day to be a tire shop.
I have to believe that most of the people that were there had to take the day off work to get this done. It took a huge chunk out of even my day because I couldn’t go anywhere until I got my car back. Well, now that the snow tires are on the Subaru I say BRING IT OLD MAN WINTER!
