Wheels come with instruction books? ? ? ?
All I got with my new Pacifica was a one sheet instruction on
how to take a 2x4 and a hammer to whack the head level.
I actually thought my husband had made it up and included
it in the box as a joke!
He was a real honey and bought it for me as a retirement gift
last year.
..............At least I thought he was being sweet untill he asked
if I thought I could make enough selling pottery to make payments on a new
boat.

What a hoot. Sounds like my husband. He says I'm the breadwinner when he retires......
I'm thinking beans and rice as a daily staple.....
