I just wanted to add a little bit more to the information that Cody provided us earlier. I looked up, this is all on the tire issue that I brought today and stirred up, I looked up the federal DOT and the California DOT. This is a surprise to me. There are no legal mandates either under DOT or the California DOT for aging requirements. There are only recommendations. I always thought they were mandates. My error. But what they're recommending is that you follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, which is based on liability, obviously. But the vehicle manufacturers recommend that you do not run tires over six years of age, regardless of tread depth. This is probably due to the Firestone tire issue many years ago with the Ford Explorers. But I think what they are doing is they're recommending, California is following the six-year, DOT is following the six-year as a recommendation. You know, the event DOT goes a little bit further. They actually, coming up with a stronger statement, that tires over ten years old should absolutely, positively or not be used. Again, it's not a mandate. Let me take a quick break.
