My lousy day at the tire shop
So I went to the tire shop yesterday to get my new wheels and tires balanced again for the 3rd time this month. Look what the idiots did. Whey I told him about it he licked his thumb and felt the scratch. He says, "It aint a fresh scratch." What is this guy, a tire and scratch expert? He tried to tell me that the scratch was at least a year old. I've had the wheels for 3 weeks now and they even mounted the original tires on them. IDIOTS!!! So the guy said even though the didn't scratch them he would send it off and get it fixed for me. Why would you pay to do something if you didn't actually cause it?

I think you should just leave it like that.
Oh, is licking the thumb like an Alabama thing?

They have that machine. They sell 20's. The moron dropped a wrench on it or something. I'm yet to find a good tire place around here. There is a good one in Auburn where I go to school but here in Birmingham they all suck and don't care about anything.
