No, just a shade tree on my bikes and the occasional buddies. I just enjoy spectating on disasters like that reddit thread brings.

I'm in the same boat.  Friend of my wife calls her because she's got a flat.  Ok, not a big deal, I figure the shop used an air wrench and she can't get the lugs off.  We go, and it's not that, she just has no idea how to change a tire.  The WTF moment?  It's flat because she ran the inside past the steel belts.  I cut my hand up good pulling the tire and not knowing that.

Always grab the wheel, not the tire when you can... never know what's lurking in the tire of a flat

Or wear gloves, keeps the hands clean too.

I was thinking the sticker referred to the fact they had installed non-C.A.R.B. compliant performance enhancers such that now the engine throws a CEL all the time (or they pulled the bulb) and they are telling the world they have done this.

alot of the racey tuner boys run with a permanant CEL on due to them having modified the hardware and not the software, so the CEL on all the time is like a badge of honor in a weird sort of way...

I drove a car onc with 25 inch chrome wheels when I worked as a salesman, and the tire sensor was on every time. Although my badge of honor was the gunshot holes on the quarter panels. Good times.

What were you selling 

It was a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban 2500. Rims were real.
I was a salesman from a car dealership and this guy undervalued his car when he traded in for a gold 2004 Infiniti M45. Manager allowed me to take it for 5k, i bought it from him for 5500. Then sold it for a lot more.

Not the rims, the bullet holes...

Were the bullet holes fake or real?
