How old are they?  The new model is the WS-90.

Yes, WS-90 after checking the sales slip.  Model branded on the tire itself is almost impossible to read.  :P

Ya, its $29 plus tax for the Dupli-color touch up pens at CT.  Ridiculous.  I bought one for the MDX a month ago.

Waxed both sides of the winter alloys for the Mazda and Subie. Install on the Mazda this weekend, the Crosstrek next week when it's back from a sleepover week on a manufacturer's lot. TR6 stored for winter and finally getting its safety inspection next spring now that everything works!

No fixes have reversed themselves...yet  ;D As long as everything lights up, flashes, squirts and toots when asked to for Safety, then I'm good. Will be heading there with the hardtop bolted on so I don't get flagged for minor rips in the soft top, who was maybe raised once in the last 12 years.

My BCAA paid for itself yesterday. A nice 124 km tow for my 1 ton Sierra. A tiny idler pulley failed causing a complete derailment and shredding of the belt. To top it off my wife was driving it at the time, when the belt blew of course the power steering and brakes went with it (hydroboost system) she was just a little frazzled after that.

Something I never give any thought to is those belt components. And because my truck is a noisy diesel I’d probably never hear one getting bad. So I spent the day replacing ALL the idlers and tensioner. Think I’m making them a part of my maintenance checklist. Just a few weeks back we were driving through a snowy, icy, remote part of Alberta at night, I could only imagine how bad it could’ve been if this happened then!
