When I last left you, I was in Des Moines, IA. Today, I'm writing from Marysville, OH, where I've been for the past week. And it's been that way -- pretty much nonstop travel.
But anyway, I think spring is finally here. It's not to say that there won't still be cold weather, or even some snow. But I think the really bad stuff is behind us. Or at least I hope it is, as I had my summer tires swapped back on the car.
While at the tire shop, I was informed that three of my four wheels are bent. How exactly this is, I'll never know. Welcome to northeast Ohio, I guess. I really think this wheel would great on my car:
But $263 per wheel is a bit too steep for something which will probably get destroyed. And anyway, when you put wheels like that on a car, you should have decent-looking brakes. Mine are rusty, and look like they're components with nearly 72,000 miles on them. Funny, that.

Mmmm... That is pretty. I don't know a thing about wheels but bent sounds bad.
They can usually do a pretty good job of straightening a wheel. I've had one fixed in the past... runs about $75.

Bent is not good.
I have local options for straightening wheels. The main problem is, what do I do while they're off the car getting straightened? And more to the point, what do I do with the car?
What? No car on cinder blocks in your yard begging the question "where's that damn dog?" or earning the comment "that's a nas car"?
