Neighbor drove car with no tire multiple trips.

It's a mental health issue. Driver should lose their license, have the car impounded (at a $60/day storage fee) until it can be repaired to roadworthiness, driver should have to re-take drivers ed and get their license back just like a 16 year old's first attempt. Maybe that will break through the cobwebs that "everything's fine upstairs."
 
Van full of kids too.

Had it been now, I'd have blasted the hell out of the daycare on Facebook.
Better off calling the police for an equipment / safety violation. Pretty sure your shop would receive a lot of bad feedback. Especially from crazy people.

I wonder about their gas mileage.
Probably very good because less rolling resistance. :LOL:
 
"All mechanics are thieves".
This needs to be combined with "single mom that couldn’t afford being late to her hair appointment"


Maam you have no tires and your wheels are worn to a hub.
IM A SINGLE MOM YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO RIP ME OFF! I KNOW MY RIGHTS

or be a choosing beggar and "cant you fix it for free Im a single mom"
 
So here on BITOG, we live in a sort of Bitubble. The plebians outside of bitog do not live as we do, obsessing over intervals and viscosities.

No, my friends, outside of our Bitubble, we have people who drive with no tire and literally scrape entire apartment complex parking lots with rim guts.View attachment 252582
There are multiple white trails in the parking lot, as if kids dragged chalk in and out of the apartment lot 4 or 5 times.
Chevy Impala? I've seen a number of flat out bald no tread tires, a number that were significantly low on air, and a few with the metal cords showing, but this seems very over the top and insane.
 
It's a chevy traverse alright, not surprised. Saw a similar traverse with the pump nozzle and hose sticking out of it.
 
I know the neighbor. Family with 4 kids. Actually a nice family, but I have no idea what their finances are like. If I had to guess, not good.

The rest of the car is such a hooptie, it’s funny. Duck tape holding up the bumper, missing a grill vent, tires are low on air.

Kinda angers me because they can drive this, but I can’t drive my Nissan rogue due to some factory welds on the radiator supports not being OEM spec. 🤓
 
Still not as bad as the Dynasty I saw once on I-75 here-70 MPH on 4 alloy wheels, no tires on any of them. Be careful out there, insanity is real!!

That reminds me of a mechanic buddy of mine when we worked in the same shop. A Dynasty comes in , and he tells me "That's how I want to go". I say "what", and he says he wants to "die nasty"...

Going to be a tough Christmas for those kids.

Maybe talk to the guy? Offer to go get a single rim and tire, they are pretty cheap at the wreckers, or on facebook. Anything round and black that bolts on is better than that...
