    Good question... although I certainly wouldn't put it past them, I think they simply failed to go over it with a fine tooth comb when they got it. I think they just took the chance and assumed because it was so new, there would be no issues...

    Yeah, let my story be a lesson for all, check the spare AT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING!! :)

    You're welcome! :D

    Wow..... Guess that was the last time there...

    BTW, what is it with the lack of Prius's here in Tampa Bay? I've been here two days now, and not a single sighting... :eek:

    I just saw a driftwood turning onto US19 from Bellaire this morning.
    If you observe a single intersection on US19 from Drew St. to County Line in Spring Hill from 6:30am to 7:30am weekdays, you may see me in LadyBug.

    I still go to the dealer until I get my new set of free tires. Then I file the divorce papers.

    lol! Just as soon as I mentioned it, it happened... Saw 2 today, one out by Dale Mabry near the 275 junction (a nice black one), and later on, a silver one in Brandon near Best Buy... Thought it might have been you for a sec. (afterall, they seem to be so rare here, whereas in Boston I'll see one or two a day), but it looks like you're on the other side of the bay! Ah well.... :)

    you know the actual tire only costs something like $120... they didn't have to replace the rim too.

    Not sure if I mentioned it, but the rim is dented too... It's like someone used it for 100 miles and went through a field of potholes (aka most Boston area roads...)... :cussing:

    Well, Saturday evening, Sunday morning and night, and again Monday Morning I was in Tampa. Temple Terrice mostly, but took Veterans to/from New Port Richey via Fowler, 275 and Bearss.
