I worked 9 hours, drove home and something felt off. Get home and immediately took a big shit, then noticed my portable air compressor was not working. So I drove to the closest gas station and it was out of order and must have been for quite some time. Someone wrote "do not redeem" on the out of order sign.
So I go to the next closest one, jack up my car, and removed the tire. Yep right there was a big ass nail. Pull that shit right out and plugged the tire right there. Came back and my ice in my drink wasn't completely melted.
TLDR: Took a big shit and patch my tire in under 1 hour.
I have another vehicle I did a patch job on but I used rubber cement with the plug and have been driving on it for over 3 years. I was being irresponsible and hit 150 a few months ago... I'm not a very smart man.
I don't drive that modified TT car often because I'm not responsible enough. My gay hybrid has over 3 years and 35,000 miles on the current tires and have patched two of them so far (nails - fuck the spics). What are you doing that your tires can't last 3 years? Don't buy tires from the dealer and it's best to research what works good for your vehicle. I buy tires online and have them shipped to the install location of my choice.
Well, it takes me less than a year to drive 35k miles...so there's that. Your statements make much more sense. A set of good tires should last 50k miles under most conditions for sure.
Its a older modified twin turbo with most upgrades without getting into the internals is all I'm going to say. Turbos, injectors, ECU, exhaust, intake, etc...
Sadly the car never gets out much because I don't trust myself.
Sadly I tried to push it a month or so ago and while it want happy until 120 getting to 140 came was longer than expected. Hit !50 but it ended as I was on and was not seeing the increases I was previously seeing and the highway ended.
This one time, I patched a flat front tire, on the side of a narrow hillside road, in a light rain, without taking the wheel off, in under 30min, including air up time. I didn't have to take a shit at the time though.
Difference here is not that others can't do what you managed it is that they don't really have to. For instance.
I have a spare tire in my vehicle, under the bed of the truck. With what I do for a career I even have a battery operated air compressor and pneumatic jack I would use.
Being that I also have a 1/2in impact and torque wrench, I would take that tire to somewhere like discount tire and get a warranty on that patch job.

At 130 the bike had a little left but I was done.
The chick in the Maserati laughed, waved, shifted gears and pulled away!
My kind of girl.

Although one could conflate the two activities and wonder how many the tire was plugged with shit

Wouldn't even take half the time it did for you.
