. . . BUYING TIRES

Okay, look at these tires! would they not look fantastic on my '84 Dodge Prospector? I thought they would. I bought them on KSL thinking, "Yes, what a score! I can pull those old cracked tires off of my truck and put on these sweet looking bad boys"

I thought I had checked everything out. 8 lugs? Yes? . . . Okay I'm good. I drove out to West Jordan to pick these puppies up. Of course I can't drive the truck. It's not registered. It needs tires. Of course I didn't bother to measure anything. I'm not that smart. They looked cool so I bought them.

I took these massive tires home thinking they would make my truck look like a "monster truck." when I got there, I set them up next to the truck. Crap! There is no way those are going on my truck with out several modifications, all of which would cost more than I saved buying tires on KSL Classifieds. I just spent $280 on a set of tires I can't use. Now what?

Natalie could not stop razzing me about it. I had to sell them on KSL or she would never let me forget about my "great score." I payed Hyrum $15 to clean them up and make them shine and listed them on KSL. I had some calls but had to list them a second time to finally sell them. after spending $280 on them in the first place, $15 to Hyrum, and the gas money for driving to West Jordan to pick them up, I sold them for $300 and counted my self lucky.

I guess I will still be a KSL Classifieds fan.
