Default I Just Cannot Work Some People Out.....No Matter How Hard I Try

Howdy all,

Popped down to the local Supercheap to get an exchange on an item I had purchased a few weeks ago, and when I came out I noticed a local in a black BA GTP had rocked up right next to me. As I was loading my daughter into the back of the Territory, I noticed that the front wheels of the GTP were turned so that I could see the tread on the tyre closest to me.

Well, I was gobsmacked to see that at least a quarter to a third of the tyre was BALD

Ok, I get that some people don't take as much pride in their car or as much care of their car as they should, but I just cannot fathom why someone would shell out the money to buy a GTP only to cruise around in what was clearly an unroadworthy car. If they were that tight on money, surely they could have just spent less on the car in the first place and then used the leftover to make sure the car was maintained properly. Mind you, the car didn't appear to be in a great condition in general, so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised after all.

I was even muttering about it so much that the daughter piped up and satrted saying that people shoudl look after their cars, etc, etc.......and she's only 5...!!!!



, just had to get that off my chest. , feels much better now.
