    Lol and I mean lol It already looks like the tires are the most expensive thing on the car now add cameras :rofl2:
    Anyways next upgrade is remote entry since it already has power locks. Definitely will help when bringing the baby in and out of the wagon.

    You reminded me of something my dad did to my very first car. I got this rusted out Morris Mini-Minor for $10. I was too young to drive it - almost 18, but I hadn't finished my Driver's Ed at school, so dad wouldn't let me drive it except in the yard. My dad was 6 foot and over 285 lbs. I was and still am, 165 lbs. 5'8". Well, I finally got the car done, and got my license. Big Celebration, right? Ha! The old man got a cup hook, a shoehorn and a tube of Vaseline glued to the Passenger B-Pillar (early form of easy entry).:rofl2:

    I sold the car 2 days later for $300.

    Update I still like the white walls but since they didn't settle in they did flap and caused some tears... :( I'm going to take them off and turn my tires around since they have raised white letters but I'm guessing I had the wrong size combination and/or had them installed wrong i don't remember if I used a degreasing agent or soapy water as they said not to use soapy water... They do recommend narrow tires and I read that the size I got was right for the R15"x3" whitewall which was 225/70R15 even though my stock tire size is 215/70R15. I didn't see a really big gamble with the tire change but now I regret just going for either stock tire size and smaller WW or stock tires with small WW.
