XR-7:
So I removed a bunch of air from all four of my tires this morning and the car seemed to drive okay....at first. After I was done with classes, I had to drive to the bank. On the way there, I drove over an area of slightly uneven pavement (almost like road work had been done so a small concrete slab was used to fill in the hole) and suddenly the steering wheel jerked to the left as if I was steering into oncoming traffic. It was small enough and I'm a rather alert driver so I caught the error and corrected it before it became a problem, but that still can't be happening. I pulled over and checked my tire pressures on the front wheels and was getting readings over 36psi (cold tire threshold is 32psi, but mine were warm so it should naturally be higher). I drained some more air from both and left them between 33.5 and 34. Didn't have anymore trouble but I'm not convinced that it won't happen again.

this is why if i don't have the tools or balls to fix something on my vehicle i make sure to be very specific with mechanics on our agreement for what i'm paying them to do
"oh it will cost you this much for us to do this. ...what? you want it done RIGHT? that will be an extra 300 dollars."
a close friend of mine went to a local shop to get a ding or two knocked out of a fender. the mechanics quoted him at like 400 and apparently started talking stuff to eachother in spanish while he was thinking about it. since my friend is puerto rican - which they didn't know since he lacks any sort of accent - he called them out on it in spanish so they knocked off maybe 200 bucks. when the job was done, well... it literally looks like they took the fender off, blindly beat the other end with a mallet and stuck it back on
