Man In Thirties Getting Weird Kick Out Of Not Booking Car To Have Winter Tires Changed

ALLISTON, ONTARIO—A local automotive repair shop and dealership has reportedly not received a booking from one of its most faithful customers. While it is possible the man, Karl Hernandez, has changed his all-season tires over to his winter tires somewhere else or learned to do it on his own, most believe he may be getting a bizarre sort of high off of the risky situation.

"We see some people switch over to a sports car as they age, and some guys buy stupid,  obnoxious trucks. People do all kinds of things for a thrill," Doug Wilson told the Alliston Gerald. 

Some of Karl’s wife Lucy Hernandez's friends have asked why she doesn't leave Hernandez, but she says she's taking it in stride and weighing all options. 

"When we first met, he was a rebel without a cause. He smoked cigarettes, he partied, and he did all the most dangerous sports. He skateboarded down staircases and snowboarded off cliffs. I worried as we got older he might start doing parkour or hang gliding or something--you know, to keep up with his thirst for death-defying stunts, so now, in a strange sort of way, I'm proud of him for finding something new in his thirties."

When seen getting into his car every morning, Hernandez has a noticeable spring in his step, but many around him believe that, as ice season approaches, he's playing with fire.

"Personally, I think it's disgusting," Wendy Gibbons, a neighbour of Hernandez, commented. "I check his tires, and my other neighbours' tires, daily. I see him getting into his car with his winters sitting there in his garage. I know he's getting his jollies out of it." 

At the time of publication, Karl is driving unwittingly to an intervention planned and hosted by his neighbours, wife, and mechanic.
