    I don't think I'd introduce my college-age daughter to J-Fo, but that's just me.

    Pediatric ER She'll be working in the ER at Texas Children's Hospital while she works on her Masters degree. I'm not exactly sure what specialty she will work on in grad school. Did I tell you all she graduated with a 4.0 average?!!

    That's awesome! Tell her to give me a call when she get her masters. NP's and PA's are what I specialize in.

    Smile Hankook Update

    Make sure you over inflate them if you're going to go out to MW, that will hopefully spare the shoulder (or at least help a little).
    Ran the Hankooks at Mineral Wells last Sunday. Didn't notice any shoulder wear, but then my car's suspension is completely different than a car with stock suspension. Overall, I'm very happy with the tire. I'm looking forward to seeing how it does at PMS and the Bus Lot. The 255 Hoosiers should arive on my doorstep in a couple of weeks, but they'll just have to wait their turn

    Unhappy Hoosier delays. again!

    Now Tire Rack tells me that Hoosier has had some production problems and the new size won't be shipping to dealers until June 16. I have seen one Miata with this new size tire. That extra inch in width sure makes them stick out! You thought my car looked like a roller skate before!

    Default They're here!

    Got them mounted Tuesday. Very wide. Very soft. Very grippy. Very nice. Scuffed them in by doing donuts at local school parking lot. Car looks like a roller skate on steroids!
