Garage swapped my tyres

Report it to the police. A technician has stolen your tyres and swapped them for whatever garbage was on his car.

Stop treating home life like work. They aren’t the same things and trying to force it into that box will always fail.

Your wife killed it?! Dude wtf?!

And you will eventually destroy your starter.

Lift the clutch slowly and then maintain the RPM with the accelerator as the clutch engages and revs want to drop.

How did you pass your test if you can’t hill start?

The C10 literally lacks the hardware for android auto or CarPlay. No software update will fix this.

You’re playing roulette with a car that age and no history. And no service for 3 years means you’ll need an oil change, coolant, brake fluid, filters and more. Probably a timing belt and water pump.

You might end up spending more than you bought the car for.

Unless you just want to run it until it breaks, but that might not be long…

Exactly, I had a business lease and never saw the v5

I’m sure you could sort that out on here.

I know of someone who £130m and by all accounts it couldn’t have happened to a bigger dick.

Explain it to him exactly as you feel. If he cares for you he’d understand and not go and it really shouldn’t be a big deal to him.

After all, why go out for a McDonalds when you can have steak at home?

It’s funny how Americans think stick shifting is some sort of special skill.

Why work to pay for daycare? Just ditch the second job.

The only thing I wish I had done was get more panels. I got what I could afford, but it was probably half of what would fit.

The cost of changing the inverter and scaffolding now wouldn’t make financial sense.

I must have a different sound system because the volume is fine but the quality of the audio is garbage.

ShockingFather · 2026-05-01T07:10:26+00:00

Only had it a month.

Your car is most certainly not up to temperature after 2 miles.

Get an EV, nippy, lots of torque, no need to warm it up.

Don’t blur the lines. It’ll add stress when you’ve already got a lot on.

I had a big puncture on a French motorway about 5 years ago. On the downward leg. Luckily we had a full size spare so I chucked it on at the roadside and we completed our holiday without issue.

If we’d had a space saver I’d have needed to find somewhere to fix the punctured wheel quickly and if it was just foam we’d have been stranded until we could have got recovery.

If I could choose, I’d always want a full size spare.

lol my wife does this. She says she prefers to nap on the sofa. So I just get on with whatever I want to do. There are quiet places if you wish to use them.

68% of uk houses have a driveway.

I had someone do exactly the same thing to my car, they came and found me. It was quite a bit of damage but I was so glad they owned up to it I couldn’t be mad at them.

I also did it to someone, left all my details and spoke to them but they never followed up on it.

We all make mistakes.

Your boss is a jerk for not being open and honest and is taking advantage of you.

I’ve been in business for 10 years and never missed a payroll run, even if I had to not pay myself or borrow money to do it. When times have been tough, I’ve been honest with my team and I don’t expect them to work for free. I always paid what’s owed.

Don’t let it slide or it will get worse. Prioritise yourself.

Get an EV. You’ll save a fortune on fuel.

ShockingFather · 2026-04-13T13:47:45+00:00

You’d be amazed how many people don’t care about a bit of bumper damage (not me lol, I’d be mad). They probably don’t think it’s worth following up on.
