This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I once bought a car in about 2009 and yeah the tyres held air but were dry rotted but held air, I was thinking about driving it home nice and slow and gentle.

Then I saw "Made in West Germany" on the sidewall, I called a towtruck.
