Thanksgiving! What a wonderful holiday. Like most of us – for me, it prompts thoughts of family. I delight in contemplating all the good things that family brings to us – let’s see – well, the first thing that pops to mind is, of course, Tire Discounters.

I needed to call a plumber to take a look at a leaky pipe in my secret lair. The nice gentleman pulled up in a truck that said “A Flush Beats a Full House”.
“Hello, I’m a Phantom Tire Buyer with a secret identity.”
“Hi. That’s okay, we get all kinds.”

I still remember, as though it were, oh, yesterday – that fateful day in 1997 when my good friend Chip gave me a fateful piece of news:
“Phantom, I’m going to start offering a free alignment to anyone who buys 4 tires”.

I think I may be guilty of over-using the “Chat” button at Tire Discounters.com. I can’t help it sometimes – it’s just so convenient and fun! But, as that last expert on the Chat line (again) reminded me, they need to be devoting their time to helping people find the right answers to immediate questions about tires and service.

At times while browsing through the latest issue of “Tire Business”, or some other fascinating magazine, I’ll turn on the television – mostly to serve as a soothing background effect. But I was right in middle of an article about my good friend Chip Wood, founder of Tire Discounters and his eldest son Steven, when my attention was diverted by what I heard. It was a commercial, and the voice intoned: “everybody talks about how fast they can go from 0 to 60 mph. Wouldn’t it be nice to know how fast you can go from 60 to 0?” WOW! Exactly! – I thought to myself. (Yes, my inner voice often uses exclamation points.)

You know what “MAP” means, riiight? HA! Gotcha! Sorry to be so amusingly coy, but the “MAP” I’m referring to here is the Motorist Assurance Program! Tire Discounters has been MAP accredited for many years. My question for them is “why keep such exciting news to yourselves?”

Halloween is one of my favorite evenings of the year. I love to sit out on the front porch of the lair and hand out healthy treats to all the little ones dressed in their creative outfits. But last Halloween I had an experience that stands out among all the rest.

I had a nightmare last night. I’m afraid it’s a recurring bad dream that visits me annually right around this time of year. I am walking into a strange tire store, not like a Tire Discounters at all, in fact, I would describe it as the Anti-Tire Discounters. Filled with a sense of foreboding, I look around for the comforting sight of a Hunter Alignment rack – there are none to seen! No alignment racks at all!

I am often astounded by Tire Discounters. Recently, I was following a construction vehicle in the Phantomobile. The sign on the rear of the truck said stay back 100 feet. I calculated that I was at least 107 feet behind the truck, but, lo and behold, my windshield was struck by a flying pebble.

Dear reader: I couldn’t believe my ears. I was speaking with Mr. McGillicuddy, who lives just across the way from my lair, in a top secret location. He was happily recounting a recent game of the football that he’d watched on television, when suddenly, out of nowhere, he asked “Hey Phantom, you know anyone I could trust to do my brakes?”
