pulling hakka-1s




Hakkas on my '91 200q, new steel wheels, straight and true regardless of power 
application. I can hardly get them to slip at all. No fun. Unlike the loaner 
Passat (B3) I got yesterday while my GTI was having strut bearings replaced. 
Non-snow tires, and it wanted to spin too - is that just a VW thing? Anyway, 
150 lbs of salt in the back of the GTI seem to nail it down pretty well. 
Probably take out a bag, it looks like the back is about to drag and I don't 
want to kill the springs.

Ralph, did you check that the tire-monkeys[TM] got the "rotation-this-way" 
arrows pointed in the proper orientation

Snowing lightly all day today...

1991 200 quattro, 81k, viceless Hakka-1s (unless you count the pitter-patter of 
studs on dry asphalt)
1988 GTI 16v, 173k, driving-on-pencil-erasers Blizzaks, why does a four-wheel 
alignment always include a steering-wheel mis-alignment at no extra charge? 
except they forgot to do that to the Audi, must be a different procedure, good 
thing because I'm not going to remove the explosive in-your-face device to 
center _that_ one
