Used to be an older lady in Carlisle, Arkansas that kept small pieces of plywood, leaning against all four tires of her car, to prevent that. miles


Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Fear that years from now, corrosion will separate a steel rim at speed and so I will perish. The crash detective will look over the wreckage, "Poor bastard. Dog piss did him in."

They're on mine before it even stops rolling, all three dogs descending upon it. Sometimes attacking from three sides, sometimes lining up all polite-like to take turns at one wheel. Even the female lifts her leg.

Maybe it's the dog version of a message in a bottle.


Golldammed motion detector lights. A guy can’t even piss off his porch in peace any more.

I tried peeing on mine a few times to show them who's boss. I think it made the situation worse eek

OP, have you tried vegetable oil? mineral oil? Johnson's wax?

Oh, by the way, my truck gets washed once a year or so, whether it needs it or not!

Yup. A feller needs a good, protective layer of dirt on it.

Her tires probably lasted longer because of the UV protection. Kind of like you'd do with an RV.

Bacon works, too. They'll stay wet 'naturally'.
