Amateur chop shop.

They didn't even bring their own blocks along.

If it was Philly the only thing left would be the frame; with tags all over it.

Owner: "you should come outside and check out my new SUV!"

Friend: "where are the wheels?"

owner: "I couldn't afford them and stick within my budget so they gave me these instead"

Friend: "well they seem to work!"

A very good idea. If you have to wait for her to shop be comfortable. Saves fuel and doesn't run the Batt. down.

SuperDuperMart automotive staff were handily beating Jeff Gordon's pit crew in the celebrity Tire Changing Competition. Unfortunately, the Mud Flat Boys stole the compressor before the new tires could be installed. Bubba Watts, chief spokesman for the Mud Flat Boys, said "Next year, we're gonna steal them carts, too!"

During field trials, it became apparent that the current design for the KrisDelTM space-saving spare wheels needed a lot more attention before a marketable product could appear on the shelves....
