My sister rode with me to check out the car and follow me home in the truck. When we got there, the owner had mounted the stock steel wheels and hubcaps…

…but the Empi wheels and tires from the listing images were thrown in on the deal. I didn’t realize until later that although the tires looked like they had zero miles on them, they were dry rotted and had been sitting a long time. Two of them had 2008 manufacture dates.

We stopped for Chinese food on the way home. What a strange pair…

She got me home without any issues. 82 mile drive uphill just about all the way.
