Well, the tires have been taken care of, at least at the front. The bill came to $344 including a four-wheel alignment which seems reasonable for two Dunlop Direzza DZ 101 sized 215/45/17. It does hurt a little bit as I was hoping to swap the fronts to the back and change all four in a couple months for a set of Pirelli P-Zeros. It may turn out to be a good thing though because having tread on all the tires whilst simultaneously having them point in the correct direction has shown how far gone the dampers are and this, combined with the soft clutch and need for a timing belt would have turned the more serious rubber into money quite literally thrown in the street.Next month hopefully I'll be able to play a little catchup with some of these jobs and then decide what to do with the car. I like it a lot, and it has more than a little sentimental value as well, but it may be time for something a little easier to care for, or more fun.
Right now though, it could use a good bath...
