Thomas got new shoes today !!!

Today was a very earlier rainy morning but it was all worth it once I got to see Thomas (my Mazda Protege 5) get outfitted with his new shoes. After much shopping around, that resulted in meeting some very shady mechanics, but thanks to many of my male friends I was able to buy new tires (affordable and practical) for my car this morning. I knew it was only a matter of time before I was going to have to make the purchase (50K km), but now that winter is well on its way it was Thomas's turn for a little pampering. Hopefully they will last me a good few years. This is the first set of tires that I had to buy since I drove him off the lot in 2003, I learned a lot and ended up getting in touch with some old friends. All in all a good experience and I think that Thomas is happy with his new gear !!! Thanks to my friends, who all know that I am such a "girl" when it comes to car issues.
