Checked the thermostat twice, it was just a bent bracket.

My grandpa built cabinets in a damp basement for 40 years and swore by laying every sheet on a couple of old broom handles. We all thought he was just being cheap and weird about it. Then he passed and we cleaned out the shop, and every single board in that pile was dead flat, some of it sitting there since the 80s. Meanwhile my uncle stored his stock flat on the floor for one winter and it came out looking like potato chips. Grandpa never explained himself, he just did it and moved on. Took me losing a batch of birch to finally get it.

Wait, she paid extra for tires that weren't even the same size? A 225/60 and a 215/65 are close enough you can run them together fine, the height is nearly the same, so that "6 inches" thing is total nonsense. What gets me is the "matched pair" upcharge, that's just a made up fee. Next time ask them to show you the numbers on the sidewall and how they add up, because most of these guys just say stuff to sound smart. If a shop can't explain the math without hand waving, walk out.
