the racks?

   Oh yah, I didn't do "the deal" this guy offered...no, not me!  I
thought..."maybe there is something wrong with that set of tires, I am
gonna get NEW ones for full price (about $90 a tire, if I recall right)
just in case they (the "special deal, just for you tires the counterman
offered me) might have some defect I couldn't see...

  Perhaps I screwed up by choosing those tires...Shoulda took the deal,
that way I'd a screwed-up 1/3 less...Ya gotta love a deal...not.
