remember the stump...

Remember the stump? Well, turns out that when I hit it, my wheels were out of alignment just enough so that after 5,000 miles it wore down my tires to almost nothing on the front inside edge of them. Well, I took the car in (with mom's checkbook in hand; what would I do without them?) to the shop and had the guy ooh and ahh at it for a while, then he took it in all day yesterday and fixed it. He swapped out the "front subframe and steering rods" as they call it (metal bar thingies to me) and took it in for an alignment. Well, before it steered to the right, now it just goes forward, no swerving or nothing! And more than all that, my car has new speakers in it! Now if I could just get the two oil leaks fixed and get new shocks for it, it would be the finest 72 horsepower beast on the road!
