Blackfish<\/a> needed, three different organizations had told me I need new tires, badly.\u00a0 So, since they’re cheap when it comes to tires\u00a0and within reasonable walking distance, Merchant’s Tire and Auto of Springfield is putting new tires on for me.\u00a0 The phone rings:<\/p>\nBUMD:<\/strong>\u00a0 Hello!
\nMT&A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Hi, we’ve looked at your 2006 Outback, and it looks like you need some work.\u00a0 The front left wheel bushing is cracked, and if that breaks your wheel could actually come loose while you’re driving.
\nBUMD:\u00a0<\/strong> Really?\u00a0 Oh wow.
\nMT&A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yeah, your car looks like it’s never had a tune up.\u00a0 Your spark plugs are rusting out, and you may want to replace some of the hoses.
\nBUMD:<\/strong>\u00a0 Do you know, I’m REALLY<\/strong> surprised to hear that.\u00a0 I mean, I picked it up from the Sheehy Subaru dealership in Springfield just this morning, after they did a 60,000 mile tune up on it, and you’d think they’d have noticed those things.\u00a0 I drove it straight from there to your place for the tires.\u00a0 I really don’t know much about cars, though – could those plugs have rusted out during that 6 mile drive?\u00a0
\nMT&A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, hold on – am I confusing your car with the other one?\u00a0 I’m sorry, I’ve got two Subarus side by side in the docks, just one second while I double check that.
\nBUMD:<\/strong>\u00a0 OK.
\n[Queue brief musical interlude]
\nMT&A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yeah, I totally had you mixed up with the other car.\u00a0 Your car’s fine!\u00a0 Sorry about that!
\nBUMD:\u00a0<\/strong> So, you’ll just be putting those tires on, then?\u00a0
\nMT&A:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yeah, we’re going to put the tires on.\u00a0
\nBUMD:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right then.<\/p>\nI can just\u00a0see how someone could mix up two cars like that.\u00a0 I’m $ure it happens all the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
