Not tinfoil, your phone is legitimately listening to you. Have a conversation with someone about a topic that you've never searched before. If you type the first few letters of the topic it will immediately come up.
This is true.

lsturbointeg has spent my annual salary 4 times over on his garage and the toys inside it.

Fact is, I'm just jealous. I want mine to look like that. Good job brother!

You haven't seen me when I first hear the ice cream man coming down the street.

Yes, I will be 55 in August. So?

Mike Lindell will try to launch his own space flight company to compete with others.
His mental acuity gives him a good head start.

Tires have magnets inside of them to attract nails and screws.

On the new car??? Either way it sucks but it would suck a little more to be tearing up the tires on the M340.

Yep, on my new car. Fortunately I had discovered both times early, including when the car was in my garage yesterday. First time a few weeks ago I left the house and within a minute or two my air pressure warning alerted me that the right rear tire was dangerously low (12psi) so I was like "holy shit!". Oh and by the way, as I had posted in the other thread a few weeks back, that's when I bought my air compressor realizing how much more convenient it would be to have one as opposed to looking for a gas station or a Discount Tire somewhere (though there are plenty around me). DT is awesome because they'll repair your tire for free, even if you didn't buy them there.

This second time around it was the same damn tire but different location! Fortunately they can be patched up. If not I'd be paying a bit of money for a brand new Michelin PS4s tire. That's the down side of performance tires like this, they have a soft compound so easily get penetrated by nails or screws. But this is much better than suffering a blowout while driving for sure.

Can't for the life of me figure out how the hell there always seem to be stray screws on the roadways.

Any sort of contractor or repair vehicle where the guys work out of the back always have stray screws and/or nails laying on the floor near the tailgate or rear doors. It doesn't take much of a bump to knock them out and Presto! you have yet another tire destroying FOD on the road. Oh and tires have magnets embedded inside them to attract said FOD.
