New tires for Pod
Feb. 9, 2004: Picked up some new tires for Pod today. Got them at the Firestone shop on University in Berkeley. They're the right size (185R14), load rating (C), and load index (99 - 1710lbs) for a Westfalia. Speed rating is P (93 MPH). Got them for $50/wheel + mounting and balancing + tax, etc. They drove really nicely coming back across the Bay Bridge. Here are some photos of the spare in case you're interested in picking up some for yourself.

Feb. 15, 2004: After taking a short trip, I realized that my Bus lacked one very important thing: cup holders. But I wanted them to look good, not some generic plastic things that hang off the dash. I always liked the Westfalia camping stool that came in the late bay window Westies, so I decided to have a pseudo-replica made, with one very important upgrade...
