None of sissy crap like air conditioned waiting room with Sally Jesse Raphael on.
No computerized spin balance
No clean restrooms.
No machine to dismount the tire.

He IS the machine

You can hold your load and wait like a grown up.

Charged $3 for 2 dismounts, 1 mount, one valve stem replaced

(THREE DOLLAS)

I gave him $15 👍

Holy cow.

That ole boy is earning his living

Just like the one I went to today to get a tire patched. I love being there when they are setting fire to a tire to get a seal.

I’ve been taking small jobs and swaps to him since I was in high school. I told him that today.

He’s 65 years old

Told me that he’s been working at
that little family shop for 48 years

Used to be a brother helping him but moved to Florida with all of his money 😃

Ole boy sits on a car seat and does crossword puzzles outside the shop. See him out there that means he’s OPEN.

Did you put it on the card?

I don’t believe he has a very good dental plan there.

Bless his heart

Lol

Cash only.

Just like my mexican dive bar

I don’t know why he won’t charge decent fees.

It’s been “fee dollas” for 20+ years

You just have always shove 10,15,$20 in his hand.

Not sure if they are afraid to ask for much or don’t think their time is worth a whole lot.
They really fill a niche down here in Shîtsville Tenn. I’m always needing spares made up or trailer tires mounted up.

While I was there today, 2 old ladies pulled in. He had to add a quart of oil in her car. No charge, does that stuff all do long.

From the looks of him, I'd pass on an arm wrassln bet against him at the pub......just go ahead and buy him a beer.

He’s probably glad to be outta the house

I bet he is just the bomb on aluminum wheels. And who the hell need balancing anyhow? That's just for sissies and snowflakes.

Geeeeez no thanks.

Girly calendars and posters on the wall?

Used to be a little guy here in town. Looked all the world like Danny DeVito. He’d change my wife’s oil. Costed less than what you could buy the oil and filter for. Awesome fella. He passed away a couple of years back.

Yeah, I'll pass on him changing tires on my forged aluminum wheels.

I'd like to have seen his wheel balancing. Cool to know places like that still exist.

You two didn't read the thread title....clearly

Not enough for my business, as per Wilson.

Maybe frame one of those pictures and send it to him.

Tall cotton here. Have a shop that will fix a flat, mount & balance for $10.00.
Work off the driveway in what formerly was a A & W drive in.
They will accept a tip and will take a card.

Like wabigoon.

TFF

He’s done magnesium and alum for me.

He’s never marred em up. Throws a rug down or sheet of cardboard. Takes his time, uses hickory handle

I’d let him work on stuff before I took to some hopped-up pony tail dipshît at a car stereo/window tint place

Two questions:

What brand chewing tobacco he using.....

How big a boat does he keep behind the shop?

Haha

A ‘nice’ 8x10

Right as a bead of sweat falls of the tip of his glistening nose

🤠

He doesnt believe in any of That English Leather or Aqua Velvet stuff like they wear “Out West” to the shindig at 9,000ft

Wonder how many women he has locked up down in the oil changing pit.

I like to splash on a little Aqua Velva after my weekly shower.

We have/had a couple places like that here. Specialized in "used" tires. Was nice place to go when you only needed 1 or 2 etc.

No masks required?

I have a set of 15” pull offs from Renegade50s green pos overheating f150

Tire Boss said they were like hen’s teeth. lol

I should make his day and run back down there and give em to him. He can flip em for $100 to some other Bubba

Too tall for my 14ft trailer.

Always, if you been to Erin you might where this fella is. On 13

So thats why you're alwaysoutdoors.

I've never heard of or seen a "women's tire shop"

Does he have rows of used hubcaps hung all around the outside of the building. Most of the shops like that are down in the 'hood, there's always a couple elderly 'groids giving the local pimp's Sedan de Ville a Blue Coral waxing out back under the shade trees. Couple of Colt 45 Malt Liquors waiting for them when they're done.

That’s how we used to remove semi tires back in the late 60’s, stand on em, hit them with a sledgehammer grease em up with soapY water. $5 a piece. That was good money back then. Minimum wage was about $1.60

But can he do this?

Send that ole boy one with a wampus kitty and he liable to come looking for you !
You know how some folks around here are 😀
Kenneth

LOL!!!
Father in Law haunted POS triton engine POS for sure.
Gawd that fuuucking truck was possessed.
I swear to God 1 yr to the date he died and he rode in that thing previously.
That fuuucking thing went electrical system bonkers...
Daily or every other day electrical stump the dummy games with me..

He knew I held him responsible for the bullschit games he played that led up me totaling my 04 Ranger 4wd...
Would have never been at his house that night if it wasnt for one of his bullschit lying azz games he was playing.

That F150 was fuuucking haunted by him.
I swear to God it was...

Got 1500 from it towards the Colorado.
1st Chevy I ever bought in my life actually.
People make fun of it on here.
Uh huh.....
Reg cab, Short bed 5 cyl 3.5L, 5spd man, shift on fly 4wd.
Z71 Z87 version what the fugg ever version.
Not many made in that combo.
Cause retards cant drive manual tranny,s.
That little 4WD can go places big ole fancy tar babies cant go or would dare to go.
And gawd forbid it gets muddy or scratch up that paint.
I laugh at Tar Babies and new 50 60 70 80 k 4wd,s
Come on out and follow me thru the woods, red clay water filled ruts, deep gravel creek crossings, short and high angle gullies.
Ect ect ect....
Tell me how your paint job and nice pristine undercarriage on that 700 800 a month payment is feeling for ya now...


Make fun of it all ya want..
Retards......




Keep those tires for whatever.
You will be getting some 31 10.50 x 15,s probably in the next month or 2 from me anyways.

The Colorado needs a new set soon.
Ones on it right now have almost 45k on em.

150 a pop to replace em...

Honk for Joey...

Gees a lot of pent up hostility toward folks hating on your war wagon...

More livin’ the dream in Rocky Top…. 🤣🤣🤣

People who own tar baby 4wds dont dare use em as rough terrian 4wds.
Big diff between a 4wd truck being used and a 4wd truck never being used out of fear of cosmetic damage to it.
Hard core tar baby pics always make me laugh.
Nice little level dirt road going to quail [bleep] camp.
Or parked on the grass beside some feild getting ready to walk to a blind by a tripod feeder fulla corn.
And a tarp in the bed all done up right to prevent blood from getting on the liner or paint...
Ect ect ect...

Lotsa quail [bleep] down here on post late nov and dec with their tar baby rigs.
Better advoid those mud puddles on west perimeter rd or else precious will get dirty...
Slow down to 5 mph and do big ole swerve to not get precious muddy.
Icky......



Word....

Rene50
Younger son had a 74(?) Scout that was a well kept beast. Most times you couldn’t tell what color it was! He and friends did lots of mudding on wknds. He pulled lots of “tar babies” out of the deep stuff. They’d panic when slippage started and didn’t have a chance. He’d bail off in the deep stuff and turn the steering to the stops, stomp it , and sort of tornado his way out. He won fave vehicle in HS his senior year. Lots of real fancy trucks, Saleen Mustangs et al in that place. I’m a fan of those 5cyl manuals.

Bytching hauling azz little mofo...
Goes thru the woods with impunity picking your way along.
Toss dead things in the back without phobias of icky blood ruining paint....
Gets


washed going down the highway in the rain.
Clear coat ????
We don't worry bout no stinking clear coat.
Undercarriage pristine???
Fuuuuck no....
"Lore of patina" coating schit on dat undercarriage.
Mech and running train👍👍👍
EPA disaster site seal wise front to rear??? Fuuuuck no.
Had the AC pulled down and recharged last summer👍👍👍
Changed plugs 2 yrs ago.
Drained and replaced fluids front to rear about month after I got it 3yrs ago.
Change oil every 5k, run wally world syn in it.
And the dreaded fram oil filters.

Needs a new set of sneakers....

0 payment.......


Love ta see a tar baby bounce on down a old brush and sapling
infested Sherman tank trail for about a 1/2 mile straddling the ruts and throw a dead buck in the bed of their tar baby. And then turn around doing a million point turn between trees and boogie on out to the main rd
Never happens...
They need a 6 to 8 k wheeler for that...

Ford Ranger 4wd short bed reg cabs could do schit like also.

Last brand new Full size truck I had was a 1991 reg cab short bed
5.0L 5spd man F150 with locker hubs.
That was waay before the bullschit Triton POS engine era.


Never owned a chevy truck in my life till I found this little 1 owner.

All thanks to my Father in laws bullschitt manipulation games old fuggs like to play before they kick the bucket for their little selfish reasons.
Like candy, ice cream, and online gambling.
Even lie to hospital staff so they can get released and make ya look like a fool when you find out you have been named the care person and never fuuucking knew.

So thanks Jerry...
At least I found a good used small 4wd after the stunts you pulled.
Which led me to totaling my 4wd Ranger unreplaceable fuuucking unicorn I had......




👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣

I know he's glad to not be looking at that damn pic in your sig line.......

I dig the kitchenette. He sell $0.75 baloney sandwiches while you wait?

Had to use the front tow hooks on mine one day 2 falls ago.
Dude had a Ram 4wd on post hung up on the frame in a low water crossing gravel bed.
Dude had 2 10k sling legs 2 8 ft sections of chain, 8 k shackles.
Auto trans and pizza cutter all weather tires...
🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Passed him, got out of creek bed .
Went in nose to nose to him
Rigged up to his 1 tow hook 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
4wd low in reverse ..
Pulled his tar baby full size outta that schit.

Some aviation crew cheif guy.
That's where he got the 10k sling legs and other stuff he had in his bed tool box...
Couple peices of mil equip he decided he needed more than unca suga I geuss.
They coulda been "condemned" items also per after x amount of lifts below a helicopter.
Dunno.
Like to have a set like that to tell the truth myself.

Looks like some paint issues on the front of the hood. Time to sell it and get you one of them $70K new factory jobs with all that Uncle Suga $ you got pouring in.

Slumlord oughta post a pic of the pathfinder.
That thing will go anywhere.
He got it as a wreck .
Rolled down a 35 40 ft embankment about 1/3 of a mile from my house on 41A bypass.

Think that is what he is wanting to use my 31,s for when I get a new set IIRC...

We had a tire buster killed by the duckbill. He missed the bead and it took a bad bounce, kilt him via forehead. Now they use a slide hammer type for the bead.

👍👍😄😄😄
Light reflection.
Under the road haze that paint is a "cherry" as Maddona,s snatch
Used, abused, but in decent shape still.

Paint ain't as bad as Kamala Harris,s snatch though in comparison....

😄😄😄😄

😬😬😬

Haha

I’d give ya a $10 spot to sit in there and eat a bologna sammich all the way through.

I think he’s been whizzing in the back corner.

have plenty of those around here, but mescans.

You know you’d gum Brandon up real good if he gave you free booster shots for life

They have gals working at Sams and Walmart.


I know…”you’ve not been to a walmart in 30 years”

Amarite?

have plenty of those around here, but mescans.maybe he realizes he'll get more by charging 3, I'd throw him a twenty, when I get tire work done its more than that, 20 to patch a tire, and they won't do plugs anymore. I always tip those guys and give them a cold beer out of my cooler.

Damn how did your fil cause you to wreck your truck so many questions..

Got the same shop in my town, though his is in much better condition. Ours is run by a little blonde spitfire of a gal that's been there for about 30 years.It's a sight to see her work on tractor tires, and you'll get an ass chewing if you offer to help her !

The pussies here at the tire shop won’t do tractor tires and hardly touch a truck tire. They have a truck set up just for that and I don’t think it’s been started in 20 years. Edk

I got to add this

Seems maybe once again sarcasm and satire is lost on a few of the homeschoolers here.

It’s a No Frills used tire shop. Period.

There’s no waiting room, no comfortable couch, coffee maker, no water cooler, no 50 inch TV with Dr Phil or ESPN blaring. No wifi, no creature comforts for humans that seemingly have to be entertained or pacified while they wait. Nothing to sooth whiney bitches male or female.

It’s it hot, stinky, filthy tire shop. No place to even sit down. You stand there like a goddamm grown ass man and you fuggin wait. If he has multiple jobs ahead, sit in your damn car and stay out of the way.

Always like the atmosphere, the fella is extremely hard working salt of the earth man. Maybe his elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top and smells of sour milk and sweat.

The place has charm, it’s a local landmark. I’ve never heard anyone in that little town ever say a cross statement regarding service they got there.

Gees someone gussy the grump..,

Yea

One of the guys that “can make his own Hydroxychloroquine with grapefruit peelings and Comet”

Can lay 2,000 posts down on a conspiracy thread

Woulda never been on the road that night if it wasnt for him.


Had to get his house "safe" for him to get released from rehab after his 1st revolving door hospitalizations per some nurse doing a home inspection.
Got that bomb dropped on me the afternoon before he got released the 1st time had to go for a caretaker briefing with him and a buncha different staff departments.
He was lying to hospital staff about coming to live here.
He said my house was all senior set up and ready for him to move in.
Which he never spoke of to me or his daughter.
Total lie so he could get out of rehab to go eat sweets and online gamble basically....
Went down that day for a briefing under my assumption he was going to his house.

That big ole lie came in about 5 mins with the head cooridinator/ social worker.
Awkward....
Sooo.
He is going to his house.
Staff informs me of requirements he needs around his house .
Ok ... I can make it happen.
Gotta buy a buncha schit the next day.
Go to medical assistance equipment stores.
Lowes
Home depot

Handrails all over the house bathroom, hallways.
Toilet mods
Shower mods.
Clear movement stuff.
Rearrange furniture
Nurse is supposed to come inspect.

Spend the entire next day cramming 3 days of work into 8 hrs of shopping and Installation to pass this inspection at 2 pm and then go get him in Nashvegas.
Get him home..
His sea hag GF is their.. nother story....
She and her cheap azz kitchen rubber floor mat and him busting his wing from it is how this all began about a month prior among many other things she did after...

Anyways
Leave about 8pm after running the fuuck around busting my azz all day.
16 yr old girl straddling both lanes of 41A on a fuuuucking cell phone not moving. I'm coming around a merge lane
35mph curve got all lights at a 4 way for me to flow and go.
Drove this road since 2001.

Had about a 25ft reaction distance from that dumb bytch sitting their straddling both lanes in the direction I was merging into.


Woulda have never been on the road that night if it wasnt for stooopid old people games...

Gotta love those one of a kind hole in the wall shops.

Ph ucking duck911.. that guy is a real ass

Small town in the dirty south.

Tire shop like that in our small town. No telling how long the actual building has been there.

Dude that ran it ( he dead now) was real short. Kinda dressed like little Ennis on Smokey Bandit.

Always carried a wad of cash and a pistol in his coat pocket. Folks new better than to fug with him.

Drove a clean old Cadillac.



Folks got it now still carry own.

Do the service that you can’t getat the Walmarks.

Trailer tires. Big rig tires. Tractor tires. New. Used.

Got an old church pew on the front of the building to sit and wait.

I've been to a similar joint. Old claw foot bathtub full of water was their leak tester. Our job moved up in the queue when we handed out a few tall boys.

I had to drop off Moto-4 rims today that are in need of new hoops. Slum's guy would be the right guy to do it. No one like that around here. One guy wanted $12.50 on/off. $100.00 to do 4. Fugg that. Found someone reasonable 10 minutes further away.

Ren, if'n I could find a Colorado like yours up here, I'd be smiling from ear to ear. Especially with a standard trans. The rusty salt snow monsters have devoured them all.

Good copy, I remember your write up about the accident.didn’t know their was a backstory to it...

Nobody looks as good in that Newport outfit as you do. And for a white man, corn rows look really good on ya.

At least I assume you're white.

Put it this way and others may have experienced the same.

You sue someone for their fuuucked up actions.
Lawyers tell ya they get 1/3 of settlement off the back.
Then ya sign and do paperwork .
You are on the hook for all admin fees lawyer and court schit fees outta your 70%.
How much can those be on you???

Well miraculously all them fees come out to the same corresponding 30% the lawyer gets.
All nice and neatly printed out for you too.
Metric schit ton of em listed item by item by item....


How special the lawyer and the court system get theirs thru those fees.

Buncha bullschit money making scam is what it is.

Dont know how many times I wish it never happened and all the bullschit with it FIL wise, spouse wise, sister in law wise, sea hag wise, his fuuucked up will and estate schit. Getting boned for 2 k for his creamation exspense between us and seahag splitting it after executor/ SIL bailed town and her obligation per will. Got a 13 dollar estate/house lien claim against her on that 2 k.


And just had my 04 Ranger in the driveway right now instead of all the bullschitt that has went down since April 2018.

It's the NA way to do schit like this when it comes to wills, estates, money....

My side of the family dont pull schitty little manipulation and scam games cause we are honky,s with a sense of right and wrong...

Did WAY too much of that when I was younger.

Same here.

I bet there's a lot of "women's" stuff you haven't seen or heard.

Gummie,

You sure are grand.

Daily driver, does that make it a Tar Baby?

good man!
I changed one by hand last year....busting and seating the beads was the worst part..

I have got pretty efficient at putting in tubes in mower tires with my little harbor freight setup. I'm down to about 20 minutes, front or rear. I think I paid like $20 for the bead breaker, and another $9 for some 3 set of pry bars.

but I agree with the thread title -- that is mans work he is doing. .....young man's work

Why do I think he'd air up a split rim while standing on it?

I lived in a small town in South Carolina for 7 years. There was a muffler shop in small steel building. They would do minor mechanic work
If they thought they could handle it. It was rumored that it was also a place where cops would take confiscated firearms to sell them for cash.
They were always busy and there was alot of unexplainable cop traffic over there. My Ford shop was across the street and could see his building from my desk. I would send over exhaust and welding jobs to him. He was good for that. Small southern towns are a different kind of place.
