I saw a guy on the street in New Orleans playing a guitar with the open guitar box there for tips?
So I’m sure they will be back soon with tip $$ to get your tire.

No clue who Allen Funt is, though.

Twilight Zone set the standard for twisted fantasy/sci-fi tales television series, that shows like the X Files, own their origin to. Twilight Zone was decades ahead of its time and the creator, Rod Serling, was considered as a creative genius. You can find TZ marathons on tv, quite often.
Look up "Candid Camera", which Allen Funt created. It too, set the standard for video shows like America's Funniest Videos and Ridiculousness.

Whaaaaaat!!!!! You've never watched "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet", the best TZ episode? Or even the episode "The Last Flight"?
Do you need to borrow my dvd set of the whole series I picked up awhile back at a GameXchange?
TZ still airs daily if you have METV over the air television channel in your area.

Alignment should do it since it has plenty of tread in the middle.

I still remember a CC episode where they put a huge gas tank in a VW bug. Since gas stations were still "they pump", the expression on the faces of the guys filling the tank were priceless.

42, my dude. 42 and feeling old but thankfully y'all old fogies are making me feel young!
I do recall Candid Camera. Just didn't know the name that went with it. I don't think I could recall any particular episodes, though.

Maybe I'll take you up on that when we come through for new tires! Free DVD set, moving the chairs, and miraculous money!

Just had to check that my stamp still had usable tread left. . . (didn't opt for realignment option . . . to hard on these joints  )
YES, it did!
I'm re-stamped (old-timer/old-fogie) yet again. . .

I wanted to tell her so bad that a week doesn't change the facts. Same customer from the 21st (quoted above) just came back to purchase a tire. Still does not have her original tire/rim.

Young man brought his car in awhile ago. Said his low tire light was on, so he stopped at a convenience store to put air in it, but said he couldn't get any to go in. He said the display on his dash showed 12 psi in his passenger front tire.
I had him pull it in the bay and we took it off the vehicle as he watched. He kept asking what was wrong as it wouldn't took air. You ought to have seen his expression when I took the black valve cap off to air it up.
You can already guess what he did didn't do when trying to air it up.

How? 
I was a kid riding my bicycle around the neighborhood when I learned that tires have black valve caps...

At least he didn’t demand that you refund him the money he paid for air at the convenience store.

My favorite CC was the old lady who pulled into a full service gas station and asked them to check the oil. They discovered the car had no engine and lady got very upset that they stole her engine and she wanted it back.

Nah, that wasn't even suggested, surprisingly.
However, the reason for his low tire, was a leaking plug he had installed at that other place I have talked about a few times, that will do anything for a buck. Hopefully he left here a little wiser on a few things.
