Well Today Sucks!

[PFWiz]

Getting ready to head tomorrow to Chicago to celebrate our 30 Anniversary. My wife asked asked me this morning to pick up some of the great doughnuts in a the town about 10 miles from where we live. I Even though it was quite windy and and snowing a little bit I decided to take the back roads because our car is G80 Sport with H Track and I have top of the line Pirelli snow tires on it.
So any way there I am cruising along between 35 and 40 in a 35 zone when BANG/BANG! Oh heck I hit probably hit a pothole. Maybe it wasn't so bad, I should be ok. Damn, red lights on the dash. Oh look the tire pressure screen just came up all by itself. And the right side tire are in red, and they read 0 psi in front and 8 in the rear!. Now the tire page shows no reading at all. So I pull into a convenient gas station and take a look.
Damn, both passenger side tires are blown! #^*(^%$@(^%##@! Anyway I called Genesis roadside assistance and some Indian fellow promised to get me a flat bed set out that would take my car to the nearest (not mine) Genesis dealer. 20 minutes later I got a call saying that a local tow shop was dispatching a flat bed and it would arrive in about 1 hour. Amazingly enough it arrived more or less on time. The driver pulled the car onto the flat bed. I then shtupped him to swing by my house to pick up my OEM all season tires. I have been in touch with the dealer where the car went. They close at 3 PM. I have offered to shtupp any mechanic willing to stay late and replace my tires (assuming no wheel / suspension damage). They said they would try.

So here I sit waiting to see what happens...

Expensive donuts! I feel for you. That pothole looks like the worst I've ever seen. Big enough to drop the tire so low that the tire hit the leading edge at 35-40 mph.

Ok, the local (closest) Genesis dealer said they cannot take care of car today. As my wife said said, "Our dealership (Classic Genesis in Mentor Ohio) would have taken care of us. Oh well, they said they will look at it on Monday. We are postponing our anniversary trip (my wife is not feeling 100% either) and will try again sometime in the future.

BTDT recently. They could not get the tires until next day so sent me home with an Uber then had me picked up next day. Not my dealer, closest one too. Yeah it sucks and is expensive. Only tires, everything else covered.

that could have been worse. nice shtupping to minimize the damage

Well, at least the OP had plenty of sex today. Different strokes.

 

[TinsleyC]

That's one nasty pothole!

[Andyj]

Similar to my post in the thread about a stiff ride.

perhaps one shouldn’t use (or repeat) a word that one doesn’t know the meaning of. I think OP had the wrong idea of its meaning either. You might want to look it up before using it again

If any one else here is Jewish and grew up with grandparents and even great grands speaking Yiddish, then they can tell me what Shtupping means. I don't care what Google says now. 50 plus years ago I was hearing that word used in normal conversation long before Sergiy Brin was a gleam in his parents eyes. It basically means to tip someone in a non obvious way. Usage - You can shtupp the Maitre D to get a better table at a fancy restaurant. I tipped the tow truck driver in a way his bosses did not know about, therefore it was shtupping.
Amazingly enough some of the stuff you read on the internet, even on the the most trustworthy sites is wrong.

 

[PMCErnie]

I worked in NYC for 30 years. When somebody shtupped you it meant that they were screwing you.

 

[tarhoosier]

Yes, this is the meaning I know. Mel Brooks used it in Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. Madeline Kahn, in both films. In Blazing Saddles she was Lilli Von Shtupp, singer and barely clothed attraction for western audience with a "German" accent. In Young Frankenstein the term is used about the creature and her. No question of the meaning in either reference, from Brooks, whose Jewish humor was well played throughout his films.

Good memory! Those movies are so over the top they are still funny today. We recently watched some You Tube clips from them. No question what the word means.

Words change over time, look up "gay" or "dick".

Hopefully the rims and suspension are OK, I had a similar blowout and after new tires were put on, it needed an alignment because it pulled to the side that took the hit. The rim was still good thank goodness.

I was gonna let it drop, but you guys keep on going.
So I asked my 85 year old father, just be sure I was right. He said it means to give someone hidden money, usually to do something for you that they might not otherwise do. Once again If any of you spoke Yiddish in your home then try telling me what it means. Saying that some movie made it sound like something else means nothing....

 

[PFWiz]

If you told someone you were going to hook up tonight with a girl everyone would know what you meant. What would it have meant 50 years ago? Certainly not the same thing....
