Tires, Car Maintenance, Rooster T Feathers
November 16th, 2008Tires
On Friday, I bought new tires for my car. I settled on getting a set of Yokohama YK520’s from America’s Tire as they seemed to be the best tire for the cost. So far, I like them and am happy with my purchase.
Car Maintenance
I spent most of my Saturday sitting at Los Gatos Acura waiting for my car to be serviced. All I needed was a routine oil change along with a 4 wheel alignment (since I bought new tires). What was supposed to be a simple $140 combined job turned into $450. The technician working on my car discovered that a suspension component related to my right rear wheel was bent which would prevent them from being able to give the car a proper alignment. So, I opted for them to replace the component. The part itself wasn’t expensive (only being $75) it was the labor and second alignment that brought up the cost of the repair. I’ve had a relatively good experience with Los Gatos Acura, so since I was there I figured why not.
Rooster T Feathers
Brianna’s parents bought tickets for the four of us to go to a comedy show Saturday night at Rooster T Feathers in Sunnyvale. It was a lot of fun! The night’s acts were Mike Gardner, Robert Mac, and Brent Weinbach. Our table was right up against the stage, so naturally we were the inspiration for some of the comedians’ jokes. Mike Gardner happened to notice Brianna’s dad was wearing a fanny pack and did a bit about that. It was pretty funny. At one point while he was doing his thing, he stopped, looked at Brianna’s dad, and said “Are you with me Fanny Pack?!” I don’t know why, but that hit the funny spot and had me laughing for a few minutes. It was fun.
