Subject: Tire Rotation
   Date: (none)

I just heard something baffling: during a monologue about handling
problems, Pat Goss, the "automotive consultant" for Maryland Public 
Television's weekly car show Motorweek93, said that the proper rotation 
scheme for non-uni-directional tires is an X-pattern, as opposed to the 
old front-to-back. Is this guy whacked or what? The only time I tried a 
diagonal rotation was on a now long-gone (thank God) 85 Camaro; the rear 
end immediately displayed a shimmy during light deceleration and a general 
sense of driver unrest.

Knight's last appendage.  The Knight falls to the ground.  He looks about,
realizing he can't move.
