Still crazy after all these years!
Sort of a bad news/good news story:
My Fiat stays all winter in the back garage. Both front tires went flat. I pumped them up and one went flat quite quickly. They only have a couple thousand miles on them. I recently heard that Discount Tire will fix stuff like that for free so I thought I'd try them. Surprise, my tire was too old and company (Government ?) policy wouldn't allow them to touch it. Being a grumpy old man, even grumpier than usual with some ailments that won't go away, I told the 30-something manager that they had just lost a customer.
The young fellow stayed cool and said he would give me a free tire because he didn't want to lose a customer.
After I cooled off I took both wheels and tires back and got new tires. I apologized to the kid and got the two tires for $35.00 each.
