[T3] Try, Try Again

[Mike Fisher]

You're going to throw away new tires that went flat because the car has
been sitting so long!  You can even run new inner tubes in them and be
extra safe, but they cost money and you might have to order them.  There
must be thousands of used VW wheels in AZ if you need one.
