see my signature for the new car i just bought to commute in-


on my commute last week travelling roughly 45 or 50 (fairly heavy traffic) i blew out the right rear tire (i suspect tire damage from the previous owner). it was actually very un-eventful and i was able to coast comfortably to the left side of the highway and call AAA (my spare is out since i'm doing a fiberglass box in there- and i wouldn't have had the guts to change my spare on highway 494 anyways).

only "problem" came when discount tire came up with the fact that they no longer make the tires that were on the car so i had to buy 4 new ones. of course i couldn't resist the temptation to upgrade a bit... pictures soon (after wednesday though)
 






Sorry to hear. If the Honda is your new commuter - then the tires are probably pretty cheap. Hope it works out.
