I think "*" summed it up best when he pointed out this guy
couldn't/wouldn't change his own tire. I went to his website and sure
enough, he's waiting 2 hours for someone to come by and change a flat
tire for him.

As FUBAR as I am in the physical fitness department, I assure you that
unless I was stuck in a snowbank, it would take me less than 2 hours
to change a flat.

Damn flat tires!

I was out of here until we got a flat in the old green truck..... now
we have to wait 2 hours for them to fix it (it looks like everyone got
a flat tire today) and then we will be on the road. So it looks like I
won't be back now until Saturday evening instead of Sat. Morning

Oh well, atleast I'll be back to say happy new years and hit up the
Las Vegas strip.

Enjoy all the PMs Blown lol peace

is this the same guy? Or is this a different *mike* ?

I'm not sure I trust a guy as an automotive authority who can't/won't
change his own flat.
