We need to come up with a new product that is sold at Autobone, Adtrance, etc
Call it "tire retread tape"- but put in small letters that it is for cosmetic use only.
But basically it would be a nylon reinforced duct tape (with the nylon perforated every foot for tearing off the roll) with a pvc surface texture that looked like tire tread and a special duct tape glue that cured even harder once heated.
Some people might get quite a bit of extra run time on bald tires.
But like the picture- I suspect most are just trying to get a bad tire to last until they get their next paycheck.... and they still have three days of work before that.
Again, you say that without having lived it, as have I, but I've known and worked with quite a few people who were pretty much distitute, but had jobs, and their jalopy was the only way to get to/from work.
You cannot have it both ways. You cannot have people work to keep themselves off welfare and then disparage those same people from skimping on anything they can to make ends meet. As I said before, try living on your own for $1200/month gross ... now understand that many people in this country are raising a FAMILY on that amount of money. People do what they need to do to get by and for one, I'd rather them grind through a set of brake rotors than go without food for a week.
People in this country are so blind to the blight of so, so, so many.
My guess is the little guy was sitting on the curb. See the curb rash before the rat? The driver probably rubbed up on the curb and smashed the rat between his wheel and curb, pinching it in between the hub cap and wheel.
EDIT: nvm, the hub cap has no curb rash, but the wheel does. I'm just as confused as you now.
Had a girl call me this morning, she put straight chlorine into her cooling system. She's claiming she has a toxic smell coming out of the vents. :sly: She'll be in later today, I cannot wait for this.
Why in the hell would you put chlorine in your coolant system? I'm beginning to believe our species is doomed.....
