There must be something wrong with me because I really can't hate that. Not that I'd want it for my own car, but still, it's kinda awesome.

CT recently moved to allow 7 character license plates. This has provided a grand opportunity to turn your douche up to 11 (7?). I've since started a collection.







Unrelated to the bad plates:
Awful wheels - Check
Tires mounted incorrectly - Check
Non-Matching wheels (on other side) - Check

BITTER POOR PERSON

:downs: I can't figure out why my car keeps hydroplaning at low speed on roads with any amount of standing water!

I have to believe this is a case of DIY tire rotation gone horribly wrong by an owner who doesn't understand how directional tires work. No tire shop could be that incompetent...

:lol:

Tell that to the shop across from where I work.

:words:"I want a cross rotation with mount/dismount to swap inside/outside due to the camber I have on the car."
:raise:"What?"
:words:"Give me a work order form and I'll show you. Swap THESE two tires, and THESE two tires, while making sure that you keep current rotation."
:raise:"But those aren't directional-biased tires!"
:words:"Please go get your manager."

Manager knew what was up and took care of it. Granted, he had to mark the sidewalls with a paint marker to make sure they didn't gently caress it up but he made sure it was done properly.

It ALMOST makes up for the fact that the shop in question almost threw away one of my DOT slick take-offs I have for AutoX. I had a flat and got my father to bring me one of my race wheels, so I slapped it on and tossed the flat into the trunk. I show up at the shop to buy the new tires, we make a deal, and I specifically mention that the wheel in the trunk is the wheel I want on the car, and that the front-left needs to go in the trunk. I come back and find that they've tossed my race tire and hadn't even touched the wheel in the trunk. I raised hell and the manager fixed the problem.

I need to stop talking to anyone other than that manager.

I dunno, I think you can do it on a Lamborghini as well. (I know this is a repost, but it is too hypnotic not to show again).


For the same reason, I can't hate too much on this (I love the Aventador). I hope the guy owns at least one Burger King franchise though.

I remember when I ordered my first set of directional tires. I was pissed because they shipped me 3 lefts and a right. Then it was pointed out that you just change which side the rim is mounted on and I felt stupid.

Don't you hate remembering the stupid poo poo you did when you were young? I know I do.

The tires are the same, you just change which way you mount the wheel depending on which side it's going on. When they shipped in, 3 were pointing one way, and the last one was going the other. It made my stupid young brain think that they had screwed up the shipment, when in fact the tires are all the same.
