I can get a new set of goodyear tires (15") for $300.00. I replaced the front tires on my car last oct & the old tires were 11 yrs old (pep boys tires). The donut tire in my trunk is 12 yrs old & leaks air over time. Luckily I don't drive much cause my car is a gas guzzler & gets around 12 mpg. UGH !

You can still buy....just....one.....tire.

Nobody can make you buy two if you don't want to.

Something about taking a picture of a truck with a phone holder so you can recognize it on the interstate. Do you post so much drivel you can't remember it all?

AGAIN it has to match the other tires on the vehicle if it's a AWD vehicle.

You're missing the point of oregon's post. Nobody said anything about AWD. AGAIN, you CAN buy one tire. it doesn't have to match or anything else.. NOBODY CAN MAKE YOU BUY MATCHING TIRES. Should you? Well, that's not the point of the post.

I used ti see an S10 kinda like that, had a phone mounted above the steering wheel. I watched him at the light, and he was using it as a speedometer, with an app.

Now I am not putting down the Versa in any way. I don't know how it is as a "chick magnet" so to speak. Like I say, buy the car you like and can afford.
I like large and/or fast vehicles, if somebody thinks I'm compensating, then they can request a link to my Fetlife profile. They'll understand I need the interior room, lol. My stepdad drives a Ranger, it does not do "truck things," like carry hay, or a load of scrap, or whatever, so I wonder what they'd say about him? It's like saying a single person with a sedan is compensating for lack of family, or something.

I was considering a Ram 1ton dually, just because I like them, before I got fired. Maybe if it happens, I'll get a tannau cover, and glue stuff to it, so it looks like it's "earnin its keep," with a full bed.

BTW you can't get Iphones on Cricket/Boost/Metro PCS contracts.


Let me ask you this: Are you in the automotive industry? Are you seeing 200+ people a week walk into your store in this situation that I'm originally talking about? Clearly you are not...
Yes you can, the phone payment is in the bill, you are right on one thing; Cricket doesn't do contracts, I asked them about the Note 4, and they said $XX down payment, and &XX added to the bill, until the $400 phablet was paid off.
