LOL!

Background: I live on a bumpy rural road...

I actually took my car to the local spridget specialist one day. The 
conversation went
something like this:

Me: there is somethiung wrong with my car's suspension - I've gone over it from 
head to tail
       and I'm damned if I can find the problem.

Him: Lets put it up on the hoist.

[1/2 hr later]

Him: Nothing wrong, Let's phone X and ask about these tires

[5 min later]

We both shake our heads in amazement...

Went home, swapped the Hoosiers for Formula Rs and the car was perfect....
