Hmm... something looks a little off here...

WHAT!? That's nuts... most yards charge $25 + a $10-$15 core for an alloy with a tire. $20 and no core if the tire is shot.
I was in a rush and i could have had them take the tire off and I did not feel like running around to pay extra to get a tire and have it mounted for just a spare.

That's really cool. I've always loved the MD flag. I have a big one somewhere. I lived there with my family '79-87.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Did an oil change on the wife's S40. So this Pentosin Performance 5W30 keeps a long time. We did about 4K over a year and the oil looked like it had another year of life left. The S70... well, still praying monitors magically repair themselves! :)
