    Man, got a nail in the sidewall of my tire!

    I'm out smoking a cig., and boom! What do I see, but a fu*king nail in the sidewall of my right-rear tire. The tire shop's been loving me lately, just picked up the other car today from them.

    The fact that you have a sidewall means your rims aren't big enough.

    That realy sucks. I swear everytime I get a new set of tires within 6 months I need a pug or a patch because of that shit.
    How the Hell did you get it in your sidewall?

    Yup, I bet they ran over and hammed that nail right into your sidewall when you weren't looking. Those damn tire guys will do fucking anything to keep the business coming in.

    I wonder is anyone has invented a magnet system that could catch nails before your tires ran them over? ..... I should patent that.

    Naw, I was thinking of something in the way of a double mud flap...Hang the magnet close enough to the ground of front of and behind the tire so that anything would get snatched up into it before it could get the to rubber...

    I could make a TON off this on ebay!!!! Magnetic mudflaps!!!

    Yeah but if they're like the swingy rubber mudflaps, they'll just flip up and stick to the frame.

    magnetic mudflaps if anything will just make nails fly around, get in your tires more, scratch paint and look like shit. way to be a non engineer, might need Billy Mays to sell that...... Oh wait lmao
