John Adams Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I don't have a clue on mine. Probably doesn't seeing I have run flat tires...whatever the hell those are. I also have the run-flats. I loved the sell job for those. "Had a client run over a chunk of metal going through the Lincoln Tunnel. Car got a flat and alerted him. So he drove to Philly to our dealership and guess what? He had not one but 2 flats. Can't fix that with a standard spare." I still like a spare.
John Adams Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 See:Kids playing wiffleball/stickball I see this all the time--mostly at the Jersey Shore.

The idiot knowingly drove on a flat tire from Manhattan to Philly? To replace the tire? Nice selling point "Our tires are smart, so you don't have to be."

dib Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 "serves you right", "what did you expect" and the other similar learn-from-experience phrases that where a major part of childhood. "Wait until your father gets home"
stuckincincy Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 The bug races sound a TV makes when it is not on a channel with signal. SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH The circular test pattern with the Indian chief in head dress when the station stopped broadcasting for the night: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/test-pat...ndian-head.html I believe that, or something like it, was resurrected in the movie "Pleasantville". With Don Knotts interrupting to admonish Toby Mcguire.

Chef Jim Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 A watch you have to wind. I have one but not many around anymore. And what you don't hear anymore is a ticking watch.
Acantha Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 people holding doors for others (very rare) In my experience, I'd say the opposite. To the point where I have to run to the door so that someone isn't stuck there holding for me while I walk from 20 yards away. I hold doors for everyone, too.

Sadly though Tom ... we get to share the road with idiots like this. #1 thing I'll teach my kids about driving is to never underestimate the stupidity of others.
Nervous Guy Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 Yes, like I said: you get to be an idiot. Me? Maybe I'm nuts, but I just CHANGE THE !@#$ING TIRE. those tires are made for the people who don't want to cook 7 chicken breasts on Sunday and eat then the rest of the week.
