I love that we're on the live feed for Portuguese Jason's baby

 

It's almost as exciting to watch as the KOH

 

A Harley guy I used to work with kept his Street Glide in the living room.

 

Not a Ford thing, but seems much more common on full sized trucks to see oversized flares and stock tires. I think it's an old man thing.

 

It actually was easier to live through the 'off season' when we moved to the new house; At the old house I'd see the bike every time I went downstairs and I'd want to go for a ride. At the new house it spent the winter under cover in the back corner of the garage, so I didn't see it as often

 

Mine used to live in the basement. We might put my boyfriend's in my downstairs living room

 

You see it more on the full-sized half ton American trucks because they've usually got 3-4 different tire sizes varying between 17-20" wheels that are optional from the factory. They set the truck up at the factory to be able to take the largest possible size without any modification, so when people opt for a lower trim level the wheels/tires don't fill out the wheel wells that were designed for the size that comes with the top-of-the line trim package.

 

My bike spent the winter in the dining room. Useless room anyway.

 

Some cars don't have spares these days? What in the fuck? I'm sorry but no way in hell I am buying or even driving a car without a spare.

 

Lots of them don't. Even some trucks are coming out of the factory with weird space-savers slung underneath.

 

thats the base base model

 

No most of the new cars don't. When we were buying my wifes new Camry it was funny to hear the salesman say "and it comes with a full size doughnut spare".

I was like

 

Um not true. A lot the new BMW's don't come with any kind of spare tire

 

Do you have a link for such a thing? This could be a lifesaver if I could find a way to get the panel out of the car and into the sun

 

When stuff starts to go down I can share a link to a YouTube live feed

 

Better get permission first.

 

I know having the battery off the car for awhile can do things to the car. Nothing crazy just the computer forgetting everything, right?

Trust me my goal is now to figure out her lug pattern and the size spare she needs so I can search CL. What pissed me off the most is the tub for the spare is there they just didn't put a spare in.

 

Not on a 1969

On a newer car I'd probably just leave the battery in place and hook up a maintainer.

The new BMW's all come with Runflats, too.

 

Talk to @mach1man001 I've gone through him a couple times to get spare wheels for vehicles.

 

@Noelie84 Have you heard about a new General Grabber A/TX tire? Any pictures. I can't find anything on a quick online search
