Coming for some Yob chill after wasting my time trying to get my tires changed only to be denied by the place I managed to roll into because of some "speed rating" for my car. Tires I've had for years for my 14 year old car. Seems like a hamfisted attempt to shake me down |

Elmnt80 posted:Lmao, seriously? Unless you're rippin it on the autobahn, you won't get near the speed rating of a cheap rear end ling long (this is a real brand btw, they actually aren't bad for what they are) no season hockey puck special. Seriously the dude is like "no its not rated for the right speed we can't put them on, its a liability issue" and I'm like, I've had them for years, specialty tire shops have zero problem putting them on, and its a 16 YEAR OLD MATRIX HOW FAST DO YOU THINK IT GOES? When I got home, I looked up the tires, and they are rated H. EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE TIRE IT CAME OFF THE LINE WITH gently caress those guys |

driving new car is fun! But getting new tires is more new fun! |

its where the rubber meets the road after all. So to speak. Anyway as a grave disappointment to my father, who was so into cars that he had a record album of different cars making their noises (like 50-60s era Le Manz racers), I never took to cars. This is despite, or perhaps because of, helping him in order to learn how to work on my own 73 Chevy. What I learned was I was not suited to working on cars and to pay people who are, and are highly trained to do so! (I also learned a fair amount of new profanity the time "we" replaced the brake lines in said Chevy, and he kept snapping bleeder stems off. I guess I also learned that he was also not suited to working on cars! He has finally cleared his garage of his slant 6 Duster project and has taken to sun bathing instead, which I totally approve of) |

welp it happened. New car confusion. After a day of work I went to where I parked, pressed my remote entry fob, and nothing. I know this one has a dying battery and has been finicky so I got closer and tried again, nothing. Tried the door handle while pressing it, still nothing. Perplexed, I went around to the driver's side and while passing around the rear I noticed my new Honda had magically turned into a Volvo. My car was two stalls further along. Really glad I didn't set off any alarms. |
