Bill,

I see that you totally missed the point of my polemic! America's Tire Co. was
the local dealer!!!. 12 blocks from the house in Pasadena, CA on Colorado
Blvd. to be sure.

I was trying to alert the list to the fact that there was no advantage to
going internet, in fact a cost penalty. So, to repeat the last part of my
message, The local dealer was 23 to 35% cheaper than the internet price. The
other local dealer was in San Fernando (20 minutes away).

Just too subtle at times!
