Tires Comes to Those Who Wait (or has a Chevy)

In case anyone's wondering, I did eventually get the two new front tires installed on my bug. The guys at the first local shop I stopped in didn't look very motivated and told me they're booked until next year. I was appreciative to have gotten an appointment at Firestone. The guys there were very professional and told me it should only take a half hour of so. I didn't care how long it took as long as they get the tires on. I've only been waiting for a whole month!

Still, when I took my car there during my lunch break I waited as if one of my cats was being operated on and not sure if he's going to come out alive. Every time someone walked through the shop doors I would nervously look over to expect them to tell me they can't work on the bug or some piece of tool was missing. No one ever came for me and I waited for a good hour and half. Finally, one of the guys said, "we're just doing the balancing now. It should be ready soon." I didn't allow my relieve to set in until I actually saw the tires on the car.

I look forward to getting a new car next summer but I have a feeling it's not going to be a Ford or a Chevy.
