1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Zavala Complete Auto Care and asked, ‘Hey, why is that old tire always sitting outside?’ The mechanic shrugged, 'Oh, that's just our lucky tire. It brings us good fortune.' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off. A few days later, an older gentleman approached, curious. 'Is it true?' he asked.
