<VV> was gauge - now TPMS/No Direct Corvair

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

FWIW I have become a believer in our TPMS.  With less than fifty miles  on 
our one and only new car (My new Corvair was when I was still single) the  
TPMS told me my right rear tire was flat.  "Defective sensor" I thought as  I 
had just parked the car for five minutes to run into our church, but upon  
inspection the tire was flat.  I had hit something that punctured the tire  
without staying embedded.  With the 60 series tires I would have torn up  
the tire and possibly the rim in short order if I hadn't been warned.  And  it 
only takes a few minutes to reset the system when I rotate the tires.

So, is  this a good thing?  While it may be a 
PITA, there is no telling how  many lives and injuries are being prevented 
by 
these devices.  Well,  maybe someone is tracking the statistics but I don't 
know  who.
