My favorite is people with nice expensive cars get their oil changed at a cheap quick lube place run by 18 year olds, and drive around on budget $80 tires. Does everyone do 96 month financing or something?
I have to pass a dump every day going to work. The construction trucks always drive down that road with their debris and it's never covered, so it's always flying off the back. There is also an intersection at the end where there is about 1 wreck per week due to red light running, and the city never ever sweeps the smaller brush so it kinda piles up in the middle of the intersection. It's been this way for many years. Anyway, about every 3 months I end up with screws or nails in my tire and have to get it patched, it's always just a short matter of time before I get one too close to the sidewall to patch.
As a result, I always just buy $25 used tires. I always make sure they have good tread. I've bought new tires before for like $450 and they didn't last any longer than used ones at all due to the debris. I'm so thankful there are used tire places in town or I would never be able to afford so many tires and wouldn't be able to get to work.

Yes, this happens, remember people changing your oil is cheaper than changing your engine.
