Gotta watch your stuff when getting new tires put on

[BoostTed]

Was out getting new tires put on. It was kind of hot today so I figure I'd tip the guy working on my car, was about to give him $8 bucks or so that was all that i had in my pocket. I give it a quick check and see that he tried to swap out my Volk valve caps with some cheapy ones, so Im like where are my caps not these crap that you put on. Of course he pulls them out of his pocket. oh well his loss no tip for him

[I am armed]

F*cking weak dude. Little bastard ass, I'd have punched him one right in the f*cking slobber donkey.

i think my rear alignment is all f'ed up. Front tires with same amount of miles are fine but the rear was showing metal.

did you ever get an alignment after you lowered the car? did they even align it after they fixed the car?

I had a guy try that with my AudiSport caps before. Took about 2 seconds of me asking WTF his problem was before they were back on the car.

[foofighter]

yea yea i know but did you really expect anything else from me?

I went with the Hankook K104's heard a few good things about them from a track junkie. And if this is any indication of how fast im going to go through tires, I couldnt pass up on the price of 200 each, esp in my size. Plus who knows they may turn out to be the next Falken 451's remember how i was raving about those before everyone else got them and you guys gave me the WTF are those look.

you would think common sense would tell you to NOT try and rip off a modded car cause the owner may be a bit more aware of his car.

What the. You didnt think we would find out Boostted? Friends dont let friends buy non- Cooper tyres. Dont you watch the commercials.

I would have deffenantly went to the manager. B*tchin and crying,, I bet you would have got the tires for next to free. Or I would have popped the d*ck in the mouth when he pulled them out of his pocket. Depending on what mood I was in.

stinking bunch of mofos. i hate that crap.

teddy, GO GET A alignment at west end. you'll save $$$ :)

[needforspd]

we all know Teddy would rather buy new tires every two months then go get an alignment. Just so he can come on here saying he tried this or that new tire and try to get us all on board, lol

And Im suprised you didnt knock his lights out Teddy. I would of or at the very least go complaining to the manager on how they have a thief working for them.
