  • Everyone saying, “You can’t, you can’t…” Idk. Just try, if you want. You don’t know until you try.

    It’s hard to say exactly how it happened, but if I had to guess, it’s something that just kind of took root & blossomed during porn watching. While your brain is being flooded with dopamine & rewarding you, which then causes you to seek out more of the same. Maybe it’s partially a shock factor thing, sometimes shock & disgust can sexually turn people on.

    But I agree with that one guy, this is something that needs to be psychologically explored & understood. Do some research, see a shrink. Maybe they can shed some light on why you feel this way, why that turns you on.



  • It seems most manufacturers have eschewed the spare tire completely, due to: lack of driver knowledge, experience, the abundance of roadside assistance, and fuel economy. The extra weight of a donut, or even a full-sized spare, is by & large negligible but it probably nets them like .3 mpg on the fuel economy tests & makes them look better. And considering how often you need a spare, I can see why they justified the tradeoff.

    You don’t want the donut because, as you said, it’s only rated for 50-100 miles at 50 mph tops. If you’re lucky! I had one donut fail after a measly 3/4 mile. The donut tire is simply not economical or practical for most people, most situations.

    Now a proper full-sized spare tire, a fifth wheel, is AMAZING. I’ve hit up junkyards for “compatible rims” (same bolt pattern & width or whatever), just any old rim that’s the size of yours. Then married that to the least worn tire kept from the last tire change. Now suddenly you’re James fucking Bond, a tire goes flat & you change it out within minutes, drop the bad one off at the shop for repair/replacement, and you can go on the full-sized spare for thousands of miles. Ugly! Practical! Hell yeah!

    As you said, with cell service & calling out for help, perhaps it’s even possible to build out a full-sized spare wheel & leave it at home. Ready to use in case of emergency, just phone a friend to bring it out to you. :-)

    I guess it depends on your situation, what you’re willing to compromise on, and unlike most of these younger drivers now you know what to do. I have used a full-sized spare in the past. Loved it. I should probably hit up a junkyard soon & grab a “compatible rim” so I can do it again…

    Oh and anyone that loves using that goopy run-flat crap hasn’t had to clean it up & mount another tire…what a mess! So stupid! I will never use anything like that because I respect my equipment & other people, run-flat goop & StopLeak doesn’t fix the problem! It only (poorly!) disguises the symptoms of the problem! Stupid! 🙅‍♂️






  • I’m sure it will probably be applied for anyone throwing a brick, as you say. But there’s video of some stupid fuck parked on a motorcycle throwing heavy rocks at police car windshields while they’re driving past at relatively high speeds. Now that brick & rock, if it hits just right…could cause a horrible accident, could just through & physically injure a cop, etc. I remember reading a story about someone tossing frozen spaghetti off a freeway onto cars, kinda random/hilarious if it didn’t have horrific consequences attached.

    Long-short, some of that rock & brick throwing I’m seeing at moving police cars at high speed could, and should, be construed as attempted murder. That isn’t even close to peaceful protesting, and even if they’re dumb enough to not think of it as attempted murder, that doesn’t excuse them from the consequences of their actions.

    The pain is passing, but suicide often sends shockwaves through your family, friends, local community. The family members of a person who commits suicide are 2.58x more likely to commit suicide, themselves.

    I’m not saying it’s “never justified”, but I’d think long & hard about it. Extremely old age, geriatric issues can really suck. But so does causing pain, suffering to others.
