‘The Things We Would Do for Discount Tire:' Customer Drops Their Car Off at Discount Tire. They Didn't Mention the Breathalyzer
Two Discount Tire employees recently revealed the unexpected hoops they sometimes jump through to help customers. Creator @wubfactor , a Discount Tire worker, says a customer dropped off a car for service without mentioning it has a breathalyzer installed. That left the employees scrambling to figure out how to start it.

'When a customer drops off their car for service and leaves without mentioning the blow n go,' @wubfactor wrote in the text overlay of a TikTok about the experience. In the 21-second video, @wubfactor and a coworker are shown trying and failing to get the breathalyzer to work so they can move the vehicle into the shop. 'The things we would do for Discount Tire,' @wubfactor adds in the caption. As of this writing, the post had racked up more than 140,000 views. Why Do Some Cars Have Breathalyzers? Trending Now 'Proof:' Arizona Man Goes to Discount Tire to See If They Really Road Force Balance Tires. Then He Catches a Worker in the Act 'It Saved Me Money:' Woman Goes to Discount Tire for New Tires. Then She Pulls Out Her Costco Card In most states, drivers are legally required to install breathalyzers—known as Ignition Interlock Devices (IID)—in their vehicles after a driving under the influence conviction. These devices are designed to stop someone from driving impaired by requiring a clean breath sample before the car will start. IIDs work by hooking into a car's ignition system. If the driver's blood alcohol content is above a certain threshold, the vehicle won't start. Courts often mandate them after a DUI to reduce repeat offenses and improve safety on the roads. But IIDs aren't just for DUI offenders anymore. There have been efforts to make this kind of alcohol-detection technology standard in all new vehicles. Still, there are concerns . What happens if a car stalls in traffic? Or if a driver has a health condition, like asthma, that affects how the device reads their breath? There's also the risk of people trying to game the system, either by having someone else blow into the device or tampering with it entirely. Even so, IIDs are quickly becoming a central part of the national strategy to prevent drunk driving. Viewers Applaud Workers—But Say They're Doing Too Much While many viewers praised @wubfactor's dedication, others pointed out that there are safer and cleaner ways to handle cars equipped with breathalyzers. 'Call Intoxalock and they should be able to give you bypass instructions,' one commenter advised. 'You will need to call from the shop landline and reverse the bypass when you are done. If you blow incorrectly, you could put the customer in [lockup] and cost yourself $50–$100.' Another added, 'Call the company number and they'll give you a code that lasts for however long it's in the shop.' 'There's the phone number on the back of this device,' a third echoed. 'You call them, they will help you bypass this process.' Some viewers were baffled that a customer would drop off their car without mentioning the breathalyzer at all, let alone expect mechanics to deal with it. 'That is not worth 10 dollars an hour,' one person wrote. 'I wouldn't make a mechanic deal with it, nor would I trust anyone else,' another said. 'Lots of things can give a false reading, such as mouthwash, food, etc.' A few viewers also questioned the hygiene of the whole situation, noting that trying to use a customer's mouthpiece might be a step too far. 'You have no idea what kind of STDs they might have, [I] would never touch lips unless I'm dating someone,' one person commented. 'I would not blow on somebody else's mouthpiece,' said another. 'I'm not putting my mouth on somebody else's tube,' a third chimed in. Motor1 has reached out to @wubfactor via TikTok direct message. We'll be sure to update this if he responds.

Roger Penske sells a third of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar to Fox
Penske Entertainment, the Roger Penske-owned entity that holds Indianapolis Motor Speedway and IndyCar among its assets, said Thursday it has sold one-third interest in the company to Fox. The sale was described as a strategic investment and partnership designed to launch new growth for IndyCar and it includes a multi-year contract extension for Fox Sports' media rights deal with the open-wheel series. Fox Sports is in its first season broadcasting IndyCar. Penske Entertainment expects the sale of part of the company to spearhead innovative and industry-leading racing and entertainment events, heightened digital strategy and immersive content focus, as well as enhanced promotion and star-building opportunities for IndyCar drivers. 'This partnership is built on long-standing trust and a shared vision for the future,' Roger Penske said in a statement. 'Fox sees the incredible potential across our sport and wants to play an active role in building our growth trajectory. "Lachlan Murdoch and his team, starting with Eric Shanks, are committed to our success and will bring incredible energy and innovation to IndyCar.' Shanks is an Indiana native who grew up attending the Indianapolis 500 and has an affinity for IndyCar racing. He desperately wanted to add IndyCar to Fox Sports' properties and snagged the TV deal away from NBC Sports ahead of this season. All races are broadcast on Fox making IndyCar the only series in the United States that does not air any of its events on cable. This year's Indianapolis 500 on Fox averaged 7.01 million viewers — a 41% increase over last year and a 17-year high. This season, IndyCar is averaging a 31% increase in viewership year-over-year. 'We're thrilled to join the IndyCar ownership group at such a pivotal time for the sport,' said Shanks, CEO & Executive Producer, Fox Sports. 'IndyCar represents everything we value in live sports — passionate fans, iconic venues, elite competition and year-round storytelling potential. "This investment underscores our commitment to motorsports and our belief in IndyCar's continued growth on and off the track. We're excited to help elevate the sport to new heights across all platforms.' The sale to Fox gives some clarity to the succession plan for Penske, who bought IndyCar and the speedway ahead of the 2020 season. He has long declined to discuss his succession plans although sons Roger Jr. and Greg are involved in the racing entities of the Penske Entertainment. The sale of a portion of Penske Entertainment creates more seats at its leadership table moving forward, but Penske has remained steadfast in his determination that IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be generational assets for his family. Penske, who is 88, still runs the day-to-day operations of all of his businesses, which includes racing teams in NASCAR, IndyCar, and IMSA and WEC sports car racing, as well as his billion-dollar transportation empire at Penske Corp. Penske Automotive also owns multiple car dealerships and Penske is one of the largest BMW dealers in the United States. His race teams, the transportation business and his dealerships are not part of the Fox transaction. ___ AP auto racing:
