Inner Voices
Earlier this week I took my car in for regular maintenance. They mentioned that I will probably be needing to replace the tires sometime next spring or summer. My first reaction was a little voice in my mind saying (in my father's voice of course), "The dealer is just trying to screw me like they always do. Didn't I just replace the tires like last year?"
Actually, Chuck, you old fart apparently no longer able to discern the passage of time, the set of tires on your car was put on there in April 2005. In the intervening two and a half years you've put 43,000 miles on the car and said tires. The original factory tires lasted to about 70,000 miles.
