Bingo. In today's litigious society you can't be too careful. I need to have disclaimers for practically everything - from the fact that we're not responsible if you buy a tire that is one iota different from what's spec'd for your van, to the fact that we're not responsible if you try to install a set of Jetta brake pads on your Vanagon using Super Glue and Scotch Tape. It's utterly absurd, but honestly I can't blame Costco. Heck, if one hot cup of coffee could cost McDonalds millions, what could one slightly-out-of-spec tire cost Costco? If you were Costco, would you risk it? - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
