PeteC,
First of all, it was a pleasure meeting you and thanks for the smooth transaction, good deal, and free delivery. Top notch.
Now, I thought you'd like to know that your old tires saved my bacon today. Came over a rise at about 40-50mph to find a line of stopped cars dead-ahead and quickly filling my vision.

I poured on a metric ton of creative breaking and stopped just short of the back of the line. The tires sang like a choir, but got me stopped just in time, saving me and everyone else in line from having a VERY bad day. Whew!
A moment later the Nissan 300z I almost plowed into and I both pulled off, turned around and went back the way we came. Neither of us wanted to be on the back of that line when the next car came over the hill!
Here's to having an un-smashed RX-8 and many miles ahead of happy motoring.
Todd
