It's no big deal actually - the PPG paint on there is the best paint I've used so far. and holds up quite well to abuse.

Also for those that heard about the tire issues I was having and the problems Tires Plus was giving me.

Well yesterday I took in there 2nd replaced tire that went flat on the way home from Autovations. And while we were discussing the problem at hand the guy hit the Valve Stem when he was checking the tire and air started coming out.

Turns out the Valve stem holds air when in the straight position. But when I get up to speed on the highway the cintrifical force bends the stem causing it to leak.

Which explains why both times the tire held air in the city streets but goes flat on the highway.

So the arguments of me having to pay for the last 2 tires, is now over. And they are going to be covering those 2 tires and now this 3rd one.
