May Contain Peanuts

Mmm... Donuts

So the other day I was doing a normal stretch of highway driving when I had to quickly switch lanes to get around a car. I did my usual cursing and haterating, up until I passed the front of the car and could see the front tire. This genius (of course in a Toyota Corolla) is driving down the highway with one of those mini spare tires (a donut in hip car speak) on his car. Surprisingly, yes, it was a man driving, but still, what the shit are you doing on the highway with one of those tires on your car? Do people not know that these little wheels have a much lower speed tolerance, and due to their smaller size, can just overall fuck with how the car handles? Just by him driving his hunk of crap down the highway doing his (maybe) 45 mph puts the rest of us drivers doing 60 or 70 (or more) at risk of clablobbering this clown into something that will cost much much more to repair.

I understand that times are tough and not everyone can afford a full spare tire or many of the correlating repairs, but for godsake, keep your donut-laiden vehicle off of the major highways. You can putter along normal roads all you want and do your 45 wobbly miles per hour there. When you take your POS onto the highways, though, you put a lot more at stake. It's bad enough there are grandmas going 45 in their Cadillacs, but at least they have Cadillacs that won't crumple into scrap metal if they are hit. Plus, say the genius in the donut-mobile has to swerve around said Cadillac himself. The donut car is already tilted on one side due to the smaller wheel, so it's got a headstart on rolling over.

So, you drivers with donut tires, I can guarantee that wherever you need to go, you can get there by normal roads. It may take a bit longer, but you shouldn't be in any hurry since you saved all that time by not maintaining your vehicle.


PS - While I am in a ranting mood, here's a small piece of advice for ANY woman attending a wedding, ball, or well-dressed get-together: there is no Bluetooth earpiece on Earth that works as an accessory to your evening gown. NONE. Take the fucking earbud out and talk to the people in front of you. I just wish I had taken a picture of the lady this paragraph originated from. It was incredible.
