When we were teenagers a lot of us had beaters without a lot of power. So we would pour used motor oil on the tires and smoke up the neighbourhood big time. That was then... I'm a bit more subdued these days and besides I just couldn't do that to my dear, sweet TBA. She's just too much of a lady to perform such antics. But if it floats yer boat and ya got money to burn, light 'er up!!!
Live to love, love to live.

The tire was worn out and i had a new one ready to install. I can't afford to do that with a good tire.

Not sure what you're referring to. All i see is grooves ( did this on old asphalt) and a couple of pebbles.

I never beat on my tranny and clutch like that and hate scraping the rubber off my fender.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

But it's safer than beating your wife. And why would you bother scraping the rubber off the fender? You can't see it, plus it'll never rust that way.

There are still laws on the books in some states allowing you to beat your wife on the courthouse steps and even specify the size of the strap that can be used.

Use a phonebook to beat your wife. Leaves no bruises so no evidence. (For the record I am not condoning this act, and have never done this myself. I'm not married so my girlfriend gets it.)
