the local idiots

Apparentley they all work in the same place, which is where my fiance and her father went to get my add-a-leaf for my truck today.

I want to add a couple inches to the height of my truck as well as beef up the rear, last time i hauled some gravel for my driveway.. the truck was really close to sitting on my 33's.

So anyway, the clerk at the store goes into this big conversation with them about how the add a leaf is going to change the ride quality of my truck, and that they should buy me some blocks for $25 to do the same thing. They even printed a picture of them to show me. IDIOTS. like i don't know what a block looks like. the best part is they printed off a block that looks to be 2 inches... so not only is theior recommendation to go with a block to lift my truck.... it also seems they would like me to stack them.

the idiots work everywhere. kids were in Chicago last month, stopped at an alignment shot to chekc out their Taurus while they went to wedding. Guy calls and says the car can not be aligned, needs $2000. in sturts, ball joints, and tie rods??????

He said no, brought it home for me to check.. struts o.k., ball joints o.k., toe in was 1/4 inch toe out. probably hit a chuck hole last summer.... 15 minutes to set toe out and he is $2000 richer, and no tire wear!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=steve(ill)]the idiots work everywhere.

LOL. That is the truth. I recently had new rotors and pads put on all 4 wheels and a month later went to get 4 new tires and the tire place tried to tell me that I needed all new rotors and pads all the way around. I told them yeah right, I may have been born at night but it wasn't last night......

Just when you think something is idiot proof, someone reinvents the idiot. I guess even idiots evolve.

Put it in another perspective, maybe THEY think WE are the idiots and THEY are the smart ones that can swindle money out of us. Haha.
