I called a bunch of auto repair shops near shawano, and actually got a hold of some people, in small towns I think the business phone and home phone are often the same number. but they all said that I should call again tomorrow to see if they are open, basicly saying that if I call and they have nothing better to do then they will help.

So, at 11:30 last night i decided that it wouldnt be a good idea to drive 4.5 hrs with a small chance of getting it fixed and a smaller chance of passing inspection

but I will be going into Discount Tire on Monday to kick some a$$.
