Damnit...a 3/4 inch screw found its way into my tire...i noticed it when coming out of a store. The tire was low, but drivable. I took it to my mechanic and he plugged it up for me for 15 bucks...damn screws!

 

I hate that... I used to do that about every other week in my old car.

 

I sure hate it when screws hold things together... Screw tires for getting holes and needing to be replaced. Tires are the real enemy here

 

After taking my Cobalts dash apart I actually really miss screws, i am glad there was no small children around.

" Motherfu@king clips "

 

clips are a pain in the ass and allow alot more things to vibrate loose

 

yeah i could see that with the clips. you can always tighten a screw, but you can't a clip.


i was just pissed becaues it has never happened to me, nor anyone in my family. then 25 days after i get my new car...bam!


damn screws!

 

If you have an SS/SC, then I wouldn't try testing the top speed. At 145 I'm pretty sure that plug would come out and you'd be a dead man. Patches are better.

 

I think the plug would be fine, but i dont plan on testing top speed...i've only hit 100mph once in my car, although it is only 1,300 miles old. I don't make speeding too fast a habbit. Plus its a rear tire...helps out a bit on the safety issue...a bit.
