Do you ever look at your tires before you drive away?
Men might, women maybe, if you had a flat before. Do you just turn the key and peel out?
After the flat tire I and a friend had on a road trip, yes I do. Especially if I am in an unfamiliar place.
Sadly, I have to say no, and I know better! I've had a flat on several occasions and even will think I should look at them before just jumping in and assuming things are gonna roll smoothly. Lol, I guess I'm a "typical" woman driver!
Although I had several bad ecperiences, I usually just sped away, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzmmm. And paid for this several times :-(( Now I dont drive anymore, topic closed :-))
Your vehicle is a tool.........a modern day horse.....
You need a good battery (hay) good shoes ( tires), oil pressure ( ability) and fuel........
You just have to know........that you MUST maintain your ride.
Yes, I look at my tires, my radiator, my cooling agents, my oil pressure, my fuel lines, my lights, my heater, my cooking system............
Yes, I maintain my vehicle.
Not only, do I want my auto to get me to work, I want her to get me home again.
No. I glance. I catch more problems by feel when I am driving.
I often do. I look at them as I approach the car, especially when I have been parked in a high crime area like and underground suburban mall. I have had nails put under my tires and got flats.
Sometimes I will glance at some of my tires as some of my tires have been known to leak (and those are in the garage for the winter).

Have you ever "shared" your girlfirend?...or, your boyfriend, your wife or your husband? (and before you take it the wrong way...), to help another person. Last weekend my housemate shared his girlfriend with me by "us three" cooking a complete turkey dinner...

Do you ever wonder about the one who got away?Is there someone in your past that you refer to as the one who got away? If you had the opportunity to pursue love with them again, would you?

If I was a driver which sadly I am not, I would drive a Rolls Royce and a Jaguar, what would you drive if you had the choice?
