It also clogs the valve stem making inflating the tire difficult. Use only in an emergency.

good point

im getting a new car in less than a year and dont wanna spend any real amount of money on it. fix a flat should be fine. right now its got bridgestone tires on it. to replace te tires on my car right now (depending on the brand and what not) im looking at a range of $72 - 172 for each tire.
plus the guy at auto zone says that fix a flat is permanent, good for the type of flat i have and wont hinder the inflation proscess now or later.

Be wary of the auto zone guys. When I used to have my VW bug I used to ask them for a water pump for a 74 beetle every time I went in there and laugh while they searched the computer for it. It used to be back in the day that those guys knew waht they were doing now-a-days I typically know more than they do, and I don't know that much.

Hopefully you haven't done it already, but DON'T USE FIX A FLAT OR ANYTHING LIKE IT. It will permanantly throw the balance of your tires off. After working in an Auto shop, we could not balance a tire that had fix a flat. We would set the weight and re-balance and have to insert another weight. After 2 times, we would ask the customer if they used the Fix a Flat and every time it was a yes. Go to autozone and get a patch kit. Fill the tire up and put water on it to find the leak. Follow the instructions and your fix will last forever. The inside patches are great, but don't offer that much more of a guarantee. It is like saying 99% good to 99.5% good. Fix it right the first time and don't worry. I have put 30K on a regular patch.

Good to know. Yet another reason not too use it, among the many others I've heard.

Still no CAO Italia for the Scramblin' Man? If we don't get this sorted out soon, I'll head to the shop on my birthday and pick 'em up. I've been wanting to try those myself.

I have to say I'm surprised by that, too. Those get a lot of talk around here, so I would've thought somebody would have some on hand.

I think I'll wait a couple more days on this, then make another wish.

Hi Scrambler. what is it you are looking for. I don't know if I can help but I sure hope I can.
