Trey - America's Tire/Discount Tire has same as cash financing on all their tires and rims. Depending on the amount spent, its either 6, 9, or 12 months I believe. Just have to make the minimum monthly payment and pay it off before the time is up and you don't pay any interest. I did it on my last set of tires and will do it on the next set. Makes it a lot easier to swallow.

On the other hand Trey, if you pick up a used 315 on CL, I have some cool tire mounting equipment!

Seriously, pm me if you need a couple with 10K left on 'em.

Nice video Sean.
Greetings all from the motherland ( at least mine ).
I've had my 3 days of getting the time change smoothed out.
Hope everyone is well back home.
Here are a few shots from around the area.
Shooting gymnastics in the Millennium dome ( or the O2 around here ).
The pub I've been hanging at is called The Gun, so of course I'm right at home.

Very cool Marc, definitely a perk of the job.

Just show your press pass, carry some video equipment and I bet you'll get into any venue.

Morning SoCal!

Sorry I haven't posted and said HEY in a while...we've been on a pretty good RV trip.

Here's us as we were leaving Fort Wayne...



We've been to the Mall of America (notiice how happy I am to be there with 3 women...LOL)



Through Teddy Roosevelt NP in ND

(sorry no photo uploaded for that stop)...

Glacier NP in MT



Yellowstone NP in WY



While there we were able to meet up with some fellow FTE'rs Sailor_Roy (center) and Exxwhy (right)



Then we traveled out to Devil's Tower (where we are now)...we watched Close Encounters of the Third Kind last night here at the campground since that movie was shot here!





We'll be packing up camp here in a little bit headed to the Black Hills and will be meeting up with more FTE'rs cowboywannabe and RushmoreX!

We'll be hitting the Badlands, Wall Drug, Corn Palace on the last stop before heading home mid next week!

We're having a great time seeing more of our beautiful country!

Joe.

Yeah if there is something you want to see (and have the time) you can work it out.
