Greetings once again - from HAL's world. Today was quite an adventure for HAL. A few miles into my trip to work and BAM! HAL's right front tire blew. It lifted the car up a touch when it blew and then HAL took a hard right toward the ditch.
Fortunately, I was quick to react and I was able to stop HAL before we drove off the interstate. I was after all, only going about 74 mph at the time the tire blew.
Sounds like I ran over something...since HAL's right rear tire was also cut. Thanks to AAA and Crowe's Towing out of Winchester, Kentucky for getting me safely to the car dealer where I snapped this photo of HAL in a place where he does not like to be.
So...with two tires down, I decided to go ahead and replace the whole set. So - TripleTred set #1 went 105,000, TripleTred set #2 just under 60k.
Anyhoo...HAL hit 190,000 miles on Thursday, February 3rd on my way to see Heather for the weekend. We'll hit 191,000 on the way home from work today. Wow... I really rack up the miles sometimes.
