I know you're not picking on every conti owner but I thought I would toss myself in the ring for the fun of it. I just have Conti on one vehicle so I'm not too hard fast on them. We run dang near everything Discount Tire sells on our small fleet of vehicle at the house and property. Thank goodness Discount is respectable when it comes to repairs and warranty replacements. I was in Mexico in April and had a flat. I got it fixed at a Discount Tire Store in Chihuahua, but it really should have been replaced. It held up until last week.
I haven't been ignoring a get together. One of the moms was diagnosed with spindle cell carcinoma in late January and spent a 1-1/2 months in the hospital and rehab. Condition deteriorated the past 2 months while at her apartment and we had to place her in a convalescent home this Wednesday that is teamed up with a hospice care team that visits the facility daily. So now she is in good hands. During this timeframe I was recommissioned and sent on detail in April and was home most of May, recuperating myself with Shiner Bocks. I was supposed to be on detail again this month but deferred that until July. A meet is probably not in the near future.
