So I went to get some new tires yesterday. I had to physically go to the joint because the online ordering website was fucked up. The price for the tires in my cart was about a thousand bucks for four tires. When I got the invoice from the guy at the store it was fifteen hundred bucks for four tires. This didn't make sense so I looked up the price. It turns out that there are different versions of the same tire (Michelins). My car came with the most expensive version, so of course when I ordered them I asked for the exact same ones, not realizing that they were $380 bucks each.
That's the price you pay for driving around in a fancy car I guess. The reviews were good.. "Michelin latutude (sic) touring tires are the best tires I ever owned. My last set gave me 108k miles of safe, comfortable miles and I highly recommend them. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines regarding rotation and they will last long and serve you well."
I'm sure I'll be following the manufacturers guidelines regarding rotation. Actually I'll get the dude who charges me $500 for an oil change to do it. That's the problem with these fancy cars. You have to dismantle the under guard to change the oil. It starts to get expensively labor intensive.
Whatever man. I'm not getting a new truck, or another truck. I'll never buy a new anything on four wheels, so I'll save money there. The old truck has a tranny problem. It won't transition to the proper gears. Like many trannies it's stuck in the same gear, losing power and overrevving the engine. It's no good. I don't really need a truck. I bought it because I was hauling a lot of crap from the house to the barn, but most of the stuff is in the barn now. So I'm back to two cars which is enough, considering I can only drive one at a time.
While all of this I'm sure is fascinating, what else is going on in the world? Outside, there is some monkey with music playing in their vehicle. It's most annoying but now that I've said it, it has stopped. People tend to like to sit out the front of this place in their cars. It's like a magnet for them. Across the road at the lesbian's house someone has recently acquired a dog. This mutt barks at anything that walks by. It's fucking annoying. People with dogs are fucking annoying at the best of times. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate dogs. I hate their owners. Especially when they let their pets shit all over my nature strip at the front. I have to mow this thing like I did this morning and there is dog shit in the grass. What kind of cunt thinks it's ok to do this? I curse them to hell.
Speaking of shitty people, Shoplifting on UK high streets is currently at record levels, with offences in England and Wales rising 30% in 2024 to nearly 444,000 cases, costing retailers approximately £2.2 billion annually. Who is doing this, you might ask? Well here's a story which might be related, you can make up your own mind about it.
"London (CNN) — A tiny rural village in central England has voted to secede from the United Kingdom in protest over plans to house more than 1,000 migrants at a former military site nearby.
The referendum took place on Tuesday in Piddington, Oxfordshire, with an overwhelming majority of voters backing the symbolic plan to pursue self-determination as a principality, Susannah Parden, vice chair of the parish council, announced on Wednesday."
Oh, isn't that interesting? People are becoming fed up with their cities and towns turning into the Third World. "The referendum was held in response to government plans to house up to 1,250 adult male migrants at the Bicester Garrison, a former military site near the village."
You have to ask the question, why is the UK governcunt locating over a thousand young men to a tiny village in central England? Why would anyone want this? Are these politicians completely tone deaf? It's beyond fucking stupid at this point. It's almost like somebody wants to replace the people who built the place with another group of people who will reap the benefits of their hard labour. This appears to happening all over the western world, and nobody in these governments seem to have a problem with it. WHAT.THE.FUCK.IS.GOING.ON?
Good Day
