F*ck Harris Tire!
As some of you may remember, I took my car to Harris Tire for a state inspection. They cross threaded one of my lugnut studs and f*cked up the lug nut. They refused to take responsibility, AND wanted me to pay $96 for $6 dollars worth of parts!
Well, I was rotating my tires today, and realized they crossthreaded ANOTHER stud on the SAME HUB!!!! blink.gif Really these people are SUPPOSED to be the "professionals" crazy.gif HA! Yeah right! And I can't go up there now, as pissed as I am I would end up in jail.
AGHHH!!!
Either way thanks for reading. I just needed to get it out.

This is why I take my wheels to the tire shop, have them mount and balance the tires, and I do everything else myself.
Discount tire crossthreaded THREE of FOUR lug nuts on my passenger side front wheel once. ONCE.

Damn...thats messed up! I bet the mechanics are not certified, and are probably all just backyard machanics that think they know what they're doing. mad.gif Unsure.gif

Please, I'll drive you there!
For those of you who don't have to deal with the inspection crap, we have to have it done every year. I've got a buddy of mine that normally does it, but he couldn't this year. Hence I go to a crap shop, where a kid (YES KID) who knows less than I do about cars proceeds to fail my formerly pristine car.
Well, either way I sweated out my anger by installing my short shifter, now it's test drive time! drive.gif
BTW: Kid called my tach a "race meter" and wanted to fail me for it (not a failable item). Someone out there may call it a "race meter" but I mean, come on It's got tachometer written on it in case you don't know what to call it!
