Speaking of tires... I was on my way home from work tonight and my tire pressure sensor came on. This happens every so often when it has been awhile since I aired up the tires and it gets really cold, but after the tires warm up the sensor goes off. Tonight it didn't the whole way home. My girlfriend and I went to the gas station for fuel and cigarettes and the whole way there I heard an intermittent tapping. We got to the pump and I check the tires and found a screw in my tire... I have no money right now... what are my cheapest options you guys? Hey Panda you think Ed would be able to do something for me? Maybe a patch n plug?
