This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

This one's a bit of an asshole tale
Well a bit over a week ago I blew out a tire on my car. When this happened, the rim slammed the ground and bent. When i went to get a new tire, i found out that i needed four and a new rim, since the dinged up one wouldnt hold air.

the problem is, wheels themselves are fuckin expensive!

so a friend of mine and i decided we should drive about until we find someone with an auto the same as mine. The plan was then to grab their tire in the middle of the night and put my shit one in place so that they would assume they hit a curb.

Well i've come to find out that my wheels are custom and i therefor need to order four new ones.


Karma really bent me over and had its way with me on that one

HOLD OFF ON THAT!
Christ, don't do that! You can get four used ones at the junkyard! They don't have to be exactly like the old ones!

Message me and I'll help you with that this weekend.

EDIT: and yes, blatant theft is out. Do that and I'll kick your ass.

I'm here most of the time, actually.
You're just not looking in the right places.

Check the Best Of page from last week, for example.

Get you!
Or course, some people were a bit higher up the page than you weren't they!

Isn't there a difference between being tight
and blatant theft?

The theft thing is bad
I've replaced loads of parts on my cars over the years from cars at a junk yard, including a bent rim.

So...
...not exactly an asshole tale, more like just the rim
