Grmph.
My car's tire gauge has vanished into an alternate dimension, and thus I headed to my all-purpose store with "tire gauge" at the bottom of my grocery list. I hit the auto department, and find the right section! License place borders, 20 different type of decorative air valve caps--half of them different human skull designs, bendable light sticks, super-bright dashboard mini-flashlights for easy night speedometer viewing, and the kicker: twelve square feet of mp3/ipod player holders.
And towards the end of the section, a glove compartment set with cheapo digital calculator, pliers, "designer pen", and...a tire gauge. On sale for $12.99.
That tire gauge was the only one available. I did buy it. I can always use pair of pliers, I'm sort of curious about how good the "designer pen" is, and my beloved pocket digital calculator I've had since high school is officially dying.
But still. TWELVE SQUARE FEET of mp3 player/ipod holders. TWENTY DIFFERENT FASHIONABLE AIR VALVE CAPS. And no individual tire gauges.
Humph.
After I bought the set and was unpacking the rest of my groceries, I realized the tire store also nearby would probably have a stand-alone air gauge available. But I really can use the other items in the set, and I was annoyed anyway, so I went "F*ck it,". I'll keep the damn set.
