This. It was the mechanic’s fault and by responsibility, the shop’s liability.

Thank you! My initial thought after reading everything was, “you need therapy, not filters". Like, this woman seems to be totally unaware of how mentally ill she has to be to do something like that. It's a PICTURE. Like, there are real life issues, and her breaking point was a PICTURE. Body dysmorphia, toxic familial…

I’d like to know in which alternate universe Project POStal was safe.

I’m also careful to make sure that the vehicles I drive on public roads are safe.

Tire mechanic was in the wrong. When you put studs on, you don’t use an impact gun. You hand them on and then finish with a torque wrench. I don’t care how many people will tell you “Oh just do a few threads and if it’s good, zip it on!” or “Use a torque stick and it’s OK”.

Sounds like he tried to use the impact gun to start the nuts instead of starting them by hand and cross-threaded them.  If you do this, by the time you realize it, in most cases the threads are destroyed and the nuts are jammed.  Then when you reverse the impact the stud shears.  Impact guns are not proper assembly…

find an O’Reilly parking lot to change my oil.

I concur. There are actually people in this world that want nothing to do with Facebook. Shocking, I know.

Tires are not something I cheap out on.  Used tires?  No thank you very much.

“Despite my Lexus being from Texas originally...”

Find a spot between Illinois and the Rockies to swap out those warped rotors. You do NOT want to be driving through the Rockies on warped rotors, especially not on the return trip with the FC Jeep in tow.

“I’m also careful to make sure that the vehicles I drive on public roads are safe”

I don’t think this portends doom. Just think of it like when the center engine shut down during launch of the Apollo 13 moon mission. You’ve had your glitch for the trip! All should be fine from here on out...

Great update and I am looking forward to more!

Cry me a river Kardashians. Their airbrushed plastic filled bodies are partly to blame for so many peoples’ body dysmorphias. The idea that we should feel sympathy for her that a more realistic image of her “got out” on the internet is laughable. She does know we can look at old episodes of the Kardashians, or google…

I can’t help but think of the SPOT-ON character ‘Schitt’$ Creek’ created in Alexis. A woman who’s clearly heard the language of self-improvement and growth but could never do anything with it but add it to her layers of self-absorption--e.g. “I love that journey for me!” 

- you should have every right to ask for it not to be shares - regardless of who you are.

Her “proving” her body is creating the same problem she’s complaining about.

Khloe was a grown woman. CGM was what, 16? But yeah, I'm sure Khloe would be quite the therapist. 

Nobody cares that an unedited photo got out. The issue is that all the stuff she posts is so heavily edited it sets completely ridiculous expectations for some of the people who look up to her.
