What tool out of everything you have do you regard as your best investment? Originally I thought it was my 60 gallon air compressor. Next, I was saying it was my welder. And yes, both are top notch investment tools for car crafting. However today I am thinking that my best investment ever has been a simple $30 NAPA tire plugging kit. My reasoning is that my wife has the worst luck with tires. I am always plugging a car tire of hers. I have kept everything i have ever dug out of her tires as well. Today it was a nail. Its since been added to the punctured tire collection. If it's got T!T$ or tires you got trouble. Sheesh. Anyways, heres the goods, and the newly patched tire.
It might not be her fault.
Like everyone has mentioned, it could be the tire tread.
But, if she drives the same route that residential contractors drive she could be getting "Tailgated"
Thats where at the end of the day framers and drywallers and any body else in the nailing or screwing industry chucks there toolbag in the bed of the truck and all of that hardware drops on the road because the tailgate is bent.
The tailgate on any truck that has ever been on a jobsite is bent.
Does she work at a restuarant or hotel or motel or any other place that sees frequent construction customers?
Or even drive past a place like that?
Construction trucks shed hardware all over the place.
Back in my pumpkin days I wrecked an entire load of my wifes clothes because I was welding at a pharmacuetical plant and we had to to pick up all of our rod stubs.
I put them in my pocket and chucked those carharts in the washing machine.
And added a bit of bleach.
Skipping chemistry class in high school really bit me in the ass that night.
Does she work at a Casino or drive past a casino?
We have been involved with quite a few seismic retrofit and structural modification and remodel jobs at casinos.
We have a "tire budget" built into our bid.
Just like the plumber has a "sabotage budget" built into his bid.
It is really common for some dope to get drunk, loose his rent money, and dump a box of screws in the parking lot on his way out.
Dirt friggen common.
If we have a forklift onsite, we have magnets on the bottom of the forks to pick some of that crap up.
My plumber had to unseat 4 toilets while the place was open because some loon went out to his car and strung together several boxes of paper clips into little round balls and flushed them down the toilets.
T-shirts, little airplane booze bottles, panties, poker chips. needles, crazy ****.
I think that the flat tires are not your wifes fault.
I think it is more likely something to do with the route she has to drive.
