Bill Nye has been an advocate of science literacy and outspoken against teaching creationism, but he always comes across as civil even if you can tell he's trying to keep himself from losing his cool.No idea if this was a real quote or not. The idea of Bill Nye dropping F-bombs is as weird to me as if were coming from the spirit of Mr. Rogers.
Both my girlfriend and I are perfectly OK as far as we can tell. Just one bruise on her arm. Went to the ER of course, bunch of echo's and X-rays but everything seems to be a-ok with us, physically.Holy crap. Everyone okay?
I'm glad you guys are OK, that car looks really tough for such a tiny thing.Some of you may have remarked that I posted in another thread that I'd be gone for 2 weeks on a road trip through Europe (France-Germany-Croatia-Italy-France-Belgium).
Friday was our first day on the road, and here's a picture of our car, friday night, after a 135 kph (90 mph) tire explosion :

Yikes. I had that happen to one of my tires, tread separated from the tire, going 75mph. Luckily the tire didn't blow and I didn't roll like you did, but it scared the living crap out of me. It sounded like someone was hiding in my backseat and fired a shotgun.Some of you may have remarked that I posted in another thread that I'd be gone for 2 weeks on a road trip through Europe (France-Germany-Croatia-Italy-France-Belgium).

The tires look like normal car tires, it's just that the wheels have the same look as the donut spares. Not everyone needs flashy rims.Jeez, look at the tires on that car. They look like american microspare donuts. And at 90 mph? Damn. You're a braver man than I to go so fast on such tiny tires and in such a tiny car.
The walls of the radials seem lower profile than normal to me, and the radius seems small. Really the whole thing looks like a roller skate.The tires look like normal car tires, it's just that the wheels have the same look as the donut spares. Not everyone needs flashy rims.
It looks about normal for cars now, seems like that's the way they all are. Big white walls aren't in style anymore. They are probably just 14" tires, since it is a small car that's normal. The width is what gives it away though. Spares are a lot narrower.The walls of the radials seem lower profile than normal to me, and the radius seems small.

14 inch tires are normal? Pssssfff....It looks about normal for cars now, seems like that's the way they all are. Big white walls aren't in style anymore. They are probably just 14" tires, since it is a small car that's normal. The width is what gives it away though. Spares are a lot narrower.
Just in case he hasnt Jay needs to see this.Posting here rather than the funny pic thread due to NSFW.
What is this madness? How does it work?
