I thought the same thing. I bought a super cheap set of tires on line from Walmart for my 175K mile Passat. I had them shipped to our local store and they mounted and balanced (lifetime) for like $12 ea. The Walmart tire guy did a far better job (no wheel scrapes, used stick on weights and smooth at speed) than the guy at the local NTB did with a new set of Continentals on my wife’s Honda minivan. I specifically stated stick on weights on the van and took it back 3 times before I gave up.

BTW I used to deal with the Wurth guy at our shop and bought all our stick on wheel weights from him. That’s probably $300 worth of weights in that picture! Those things are expensive.

Many years ago, we used NTB for things. I got decent service at first, but then we moved and tried 2 or 3 different NTBs near our new home, and got horrible service at every one, dinged wheels, broken studs, screwdrivers driven through center caps, horrible alignments, etc.... I don't know if they changed or I was just in a nexus of sheiße NTBs. But I've not been back since.

Harrison Ford used this heavily modified Mauser as Han Solo in the first Star Wars movie. It had a closeup in the movie’s famous cantina scene and sold at the Rock Island Auction for $1,057,500. To paraphrase the famous line from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, “when the prop becomes fact, sell the prop.”

500 years of walking up the marble stairs of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.






After the war the Soviets carried out their own tests with the vehicle, but came to similar conclusions as the Germans. Thankfully the Minenräumer was kept, and today can be seen at the Kubinka Tank Museum.




Four legged tree in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
One hundred years ago (1915), John Henning planted 4 linden tree saplings—2 on either side of the walk—leading up to his front door. Mr. Henning, a farmer who had immigrated from Germany as a young man, had moved into town when he retired. With lots of expereince grafting apple trees, he aimed to imitate the archways of lindens he recalled from Berlin. First, the two on the same side of the walk were lashed together and grafted. Then when each pair was tall enough to arch over the walk, he grafted the pairs. Over time, a towering trunk grew from the original four.
The four-legged tree of Cedar Falls has weathered two major setbacks in its long life. Not too many years after Mr. Henning started his project, the front right tree died and a replacement was grafted in. Thus the lesser girth of that trunk.

They tried to remedy this by flipping the steps.
Turned out they were already turned over and showed the same wear underneath.
