Things that make your blood boil thread

[Nazgul]

This doesn't bother me near as much as coming over, eating, staying long enough to bag up the leftovers, and then leaving the mess for someone else to clean up. If you're old enough to shove a fork in your mouth, you're old enough to put that fork in the dishwasher when you're done.

Yep!! Gotta get that food home before it spoils!!

Police Chief Says Cops Shouldn't Draw Guns On Suspects With Knives



How in hell did this guy get to be a cop, much less the chief?

Well I am shocked. Shocked I say! Idiots...

“progressive” Isn't than the new politically correct term for communist, leftist, anarchist, and all those fringe groups?

If it's not, it should be.

Spend over 20k on a new vehicle and instead of getting a spare tire and jack you get an air pump and fix a flat.

They're trying to save weight and space. When you get to a certain point, you're looking for ounces and grams to save. It's a wonder they don't just give you a AAA card and call it a day.

There are a LOT of young people today that do not know how to change a tire anyhow. or how to use a jack or fix-a-flat.

Having a flat tire isn't as prevalent as it used to be.

Besides, what good is a spare if it's flat, too?

That is true that flats are much less common today and that is a good thing because now it is a major problem for many people. They actually have to call for help or get towed somewhere, ridiculous.

A flat spare tire is natures way of punishing stupidity.

Of course, now everyone has a phone at all times.

Indeed.

My Jeep didn't come with a spare. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

No really.... It didn't. It is an option now on the Jeep Compass. It comes with an air compressor and a bottle of slime.

What are the capabilities of the air compressor? Will it get up to 90 lbs at a few CFM? That would be a lot more useful than a spare tire.

I have the compressor and slime option in my jeep. I have added a mushroom plug kit to it.

Not sure what the compressor can do as I have never used it.

The plug kit is a good idea.

Will a tire shop repair a tire that has slime inside?

I don't know man, they say God watches over fools. . . . . I saw a Dodge dually yesterday, 4 door, no bed, only one taillight and a 12"exhaust pipe dragging the ground underneath it. All 4 rear tires appeared to have new tire stickers on them but upon closer inspection at a light I saw that all 4 tires were corded thru several layers of belts. Driving like the last lap at the 500 thru traffic with not a care in the world.

We didn't even get a pump.

Ours was a space issue, they claimed the spare tire area for emissions equipment

Truth

What are the capabilities of the air compressor? Will it get up to 90 lbs at a few CFM? That would be a lot more useful than a spare tire.

Usually only capable of inflating a tire to 30 - 40 PSI in under 10 minutes. I believe max PSI on most is around 60. Better than nothing.

The plug kit is a good idea.

Added a plug kit to both our vehicles with no spare. In my 20 some odd years of driving I've needed a spare once. The plug kit would likely have sufficed until I could get a proper repair as well. The current slime formulations are not as bad as they were in the past and should clean up though it might cost more than a simple flat repair. To be honest in most situations the pump is easier than a spare would be. Notice it's low, air it back up and get it repaired.

 

[femurphy77]

I had one that claimed 120 psi, took forever to get to 40, never tried 120 but doubt it. Probably deadheads at 120 before stripping out the plastic gears.

I've had tire shops that wouldn't even balance a tire with a plug in it. Said it was "dangerous". So I now have a razor knife in my plug kit to neatly trim the plug. I've also had them refuse to repair a tire that has been slimed even going so far as to refuse to even put the tire back on the rim. A lot of the places nowadays will fix a flat for free but that doesn't do you any good stuck out in the boonies.

Notice is the key word here. I see tires danger low on cars/trucks all the time. See the same rigs days later and nothing has changed save the tire is lower. People in general could give a crap. If it starts and moves they are driving it. Stopping will be dealt with when the need arises.

90 lbs at a "few" cfm? I think he means a tire inflator. Think 90 lbs at about .2-.3 cfm.
