There you go again showing your age…..still great group. Of course, through the 50’s, 60’s, and part of the 70’s you still understand the words.

accidents………….huh……..but that is what they said

Perhaps "AFDC" (aid for dependant children - a BIG favorite!)
Working 9-5 would never generate that kind of disposable income (unless he was an executive for Enron) !!

When you get a flat tire at 100+ MPH on the autobahn, it's much safer when the bare wheel is nearly the same diameter as the still-inflated tires. You don't lose as much control.
Or, such was my experience when I had a blowout on the autobahn at about 90 MPH in my Beemer, many years ago.
Edit: I should probably note that I'm referring to something along the lines of a 275/40R17 on a performance car with 17" rims. Not the 24" rims that prompted this thread.
