I guess I just must be cheap, I once counted 16 patches on a tube! It finally gave out at the base of the stem. Sandspurs...kinda like Goatheads except we don't have a season for them. What gets to me though are the damn roofing nails on the roads after a hurricane blows through. Shingles all over the roads, roofing nails right there along with them and sometimes they just take out the tire and all Evil or Very Mad

Sixteen is a bit extreme, even for me! Usually, after they get four or five patches, I retire them.

The most dangerous driver that I have run across is the teen age girl "princess". They seem to think the world revolves around them, and everyone should just get out of their way. They drive around with a cell phone in their ear and their eyeballs caged.

Yea, I know but after a while it got to be a bit of a game. You know....Hmmmmm...can I patch it just one more time...nah...oh, wait a minute, what the hell try it and see.

I usually only go three or four myself.

At least it's in the ear and they're not texting! Who is teaching our young drivers anyway??? No more Drivers Ed????

Richard - I hope you used the phrase "run across" metaphorically... crash

I think, if Richard had been talking "literally," he probably would have been on the business end of a "run over"!
