    I've always wondered about that with the discount tire warranty, ~$25 per tire and they'll replace it for free if it goes irreparably flat no matter what. I've just never been cheap enough to test it out.

    It's worth it though for street tires, on my old Scion I had to use the warranty a few times thanks to shitty streets around LA. With my truck though I don't get the warranty because...well...I've only ever had one flat on the E rated tires.

    All 4 tires are the same but only one has a replacement warranty? How does that work lol.

    Whichever one goes flat is the one with the warranty I guess

    Makes sense, I'm guessing it's distinguishable via a serial number or something unique to each tire.

    I’d assume, I dunno if they’ll check it.
    Luckily the recent flat was the new one

    I've driven through some bad snow storms back in my day. Only thing to worry about out here are the people not the weather

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    Snow ain't nothing like a big ice storm that takes out every above ground electric line.

    Washington has been doing away with these in force. Everytime one is disturbed it gets buried a month later, all be building and development is with buried lines only.

    It's good to see strong images in photojournalism these days, that's a nice photo

    Lot of local news agencies nowadays just rely on their reporters to take photos or they rely on the public to send them in, not that those can't be good but usually they aren't.

    people here don't let road conditions influence their driving style, which is a big mistake obviously but you'd be surprised how many people think they are better than physics

    Whiz cheese steaks are pretty tasty but I still prefer provolone.

    There have always been bad drivers around here but ever since the pandemic hit, it's crazy how many times I'll be on the highway going 70 - 75mph and see a car fly around everyone going easily 100mph +. Fucking insane.

    I tested this theory last night. Pulled the cruiser into the garage to do belts and oil, but first I had to remove the BMW. Well it's snowy. Turns out you can't really use it in the snow. I floored it down my street and with the eDiff and roll control I couldnt break 20mph, but if I tempered my gas pedal usage it was remarkable I could move and stop like a normal person haha

    There is an outback that does this everyday. Cutting people off, passing on the shoulder or on ramps. A real dickhead. I hope I get to see him get his.

    Maybe I'm getting old but it really grinds my gears lately, esp if I have my daughter in the car. If we got taken out by some idiot doing shit like that they better hope I don't live to sue them into oblivion.

    You'd lose your mind over these idiots.

    Natural selection needs to do their part
