Well everything was going fine, our school has an autoshop and today was auto club so i went. I put my car up on the lift to check some things out and i have just now found that the "new" tires the guy before me had put on the car are bullsh!t. I have to buy four new tires because they're ALL trashed to a point that they're no longer safe to drive on and i also found out that my rear right "arm" (according to the ford parts tag) Must be replaced becasue it is bent to sh!t. So i'm not too happy, that was my shouting for today.

Well we bought it thru a freind's family friend so i trusted him and he said that they were "new" or "newer" and i just now see this. So i'm quite unhappy.

that was your first mistake when buying a used car, being from a friend or dealer. Originally posted by SVT Driver627:

Yep, i need new tires.... those pirellis suck major ass.... spun out because they have traction like [censored]!!! its kind of sad to see my moms Escort handles alot better without spinning out of control, unlike mine, I gotta put some real tires such as GoodYears.... Sucks to hear about your tires though....
