Metal? Doesn't that get the fuzz up on the neck of the inspectors? Now,
ahem, toungue firmly in my cheek, a frozen tire, filled with liquid nitrogen
(why not use hydrogen? It can be turned into a solid by crackey) the tire
would be as hard a metal, but still look like a tire to the inspectors. And
we could cut grooves in them so they would act like rain tires, to  boot.
"cept when that frozen tire hits wet salt it is gonna ball up worse than wet
caliche on your good boots.. I guess the math for caliche need some
exploring to make sense of the rolling resistance drag factor though..

mayf, the red necked ignorant desert rat in Pahrump....not enough to do cept
for today...third root canal on the same tooth...maybe that's why I am so
bitchy...nah, just natural for me....
