Re: Uncommon Opinions

It is a scam...in my opinion.

Instead of paying to rotate and balance 4 tires, then replacing them later...just let me replace the worn out tire(s) now.

FYI, I get my tires at Discount Tire and they'll rotate for free.

I've even taken my wife's flat tire there (a tire we got elsewhere) and they fixed it for free. I'm now a Discount Tire guy for good.

Yup. If your tire place doesn't do free rotations for is customers, you need to find a new tire place.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

I think views are, for the most part, pointless.

I look at something and it's like, "Okay, I get it. Oooh, there's water there. Cool. That's one nice mountain."

One big who cares.

Worse yet are the people who get aroused over views. "Oh this view is GORGEOUS!" Yeah, okay, and what are you gonna do with it?

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Front vs. rear tires do wear a lot differently, especially since a lot of cars are front or rear wheel drive.

Tire rotation gets you more life out of your tires. Not all of us can afford to (or even just want to) pay for newer tires earlier than necessary.

I'm not sure why you quoted me in it, since I'm not disagreeing with you.

I've had my car since 2010 and I have the exact same tires that I drove off the lot with.

What are you going to do with Maria Menounos?


On second thought, don't answer that.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

People have been listening to Country music for yeeeeears and that genre/sub genres have been bringing in big money for a long long time.

I don't think you can say there's a sudden urge for people to listen to it.

I listen to Country music from time to time, even if I prefer rock and metal. When I think of unbearable, I think of Nicki Minaj (sp), Bieber, etc. I don't think of George Jones, Aaron Lewis, George Strait, Jamey Johnson, and Garth Brooks.

I guess that's why its an opinion, right ?

My music playlists tend to be all over the place. We could go from Bring Me The Horizon to Dr. Dre and back to J Cole and then to Fleetwood Mac without even batting an eyelash. My musical taste always depends on the artist. I always feel like its more fair to judge artists rather than genres.

I'm late here, haven't caught up on this thread in a couple days, but have you heard the latest BMTH? I was really disappointed, I miss the old stuff, which is something that bugs me about myself. I mean, when bands alter their style, it annoys me, yet when bands stay the same it's like... stale. It's kinda lose-lose the way I look at it. Unless bands get heavier, I always approve of that

I was a HUGE fan of their first CD "Count Your Blessings".

Then they really dropped off and became a bunch of women.

I refused to listen to anything they put out, but I do like a few songs from the newest album.

It would be a scam if someone didn't let you rotate your tires. It also kind of depends on how long you plan on having a car. If you get a new car every 5 years or less and have a decent set of tires, rotation would mean you never replace them, which would cost you $400+ for a decent set, not craptacular Goodyear Eagles. Even if you had to pay for rotation and balance every 6 months (which many places offer free lifetime balance/rotation or have specials all the damn time), wouldn't cost you more than $30 a time. $30*9 (twice a year, once the last year before trade-in) is still a lot less than $400 for new tires that also is spent in one chunk. Depending on your driving, rotations should easily get you 25% more miles, possibly as many as 50% if you are keeping your air pressures checked and not doing burnouts at every stoplight.

As for the safety you are so concerned with, as someone who has taken vehicle and tire dynamics classes... no. You are actually slowing the wear by moving them around. If you never rotated, as I already said, your tires would wear out faster. You will approach the legal tread limit in less time and thus would end up spending more on new tires more often.

There is a difference in worn out tires, which you should replace, and just regular tire wear. Of course, once they are done, rotation isn't going to do you much good, but by not rotating throughout the life of the tires, you are just costing yourself money, and potentially safety.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

All of the talk about Doritos and no mention of Sweet and Spicy Chili?

I will destroy a bag of those in an hour.

As for rotating tires, anyone who pays for that is getting jipped.


I don't really have any uncommon opinions.. I follow the crowd so people will like me

Hyperbole is to OS as bullets are to a battlefield.

Bullets? The battlefields I know of are just filled with silly costumes like a hyperactive piñata and Captain Canada.

I still remember when you finally admitted you couldn't keep that going anymore. She was looking particularly awful that night

While I don't have a problem with homosexuality, I do find myself somewhat disgusted by the over-the-top public display of affection by some homosexual men. I'm all for you being yourself, but I know very FEW straight men and women that are as overly affectionate in public as some homosexual men I see.

Maybe that's just me. And yeah, I live in Alabama, but my views are far from the stereotypical norm in this state... as I said, I don't mind them being whatever the hell they want to be, but it's a bit overbearing at times on campus when I'm walking or running. I have several gay friends, but they're respectful to me, just as my wife and I are in public.

You ask for an uncommon opinion. That may or may not be one.

Re: Uncommon Opinions

Any overt display of public affection is off-putting to me. Doesn't matter what their sexual orientation is.

[TheShizNo1]

Yea, you should probably delete that.

Nothing good will come from that
