In similar vein to the standard transmission thread:
My son has been gone 33 years but his best friend STILL keeps in contact, even though I now live ten hours further south.
He and his fiancée were car shopping and settled on a two year old Mazda CX that had been a lease car for an elderly couple who liked to travel.
In the back of the SUV, there were FOUR brand name studded snow tires on rims.
My son’s friend asked the much younger car salesman what the dealership was going to do with those studded snow tires. The kid replied “what’s that?” He had. no idea about snow tires. - no idea at all.
At that point my son’s friend asked to speak to the sales manager, who wasn’t much older than the salesman but at least knew about snow tires.
I can’t imagine not knowing what snow tires are. They are in western PA. There IS bad weather there. You would think everyone that sells cars would know the history of snow tires.
But OTOH, the driver of my hay delivery was a retired semi driver for Walmart and he couldn’t jacknife that fifth wheel to get it around the barn to the 10 foot door to offload the hay
