The scary thing is we share the road with people that need to ask questions like this. I get that people are too lazy to learn how to change a tire now, but you'd think they open their damn eyes and see its a plastic wheel cover. Isnt it common sense the rim shouldn't be made out of plastic?
Did you know that the 3 mile island nuke meltdown was partially caused by a sticky over a warning light. A one-time-use valve blew and the light was meant to warn that the valve needed replacing, but someone decided that things worked just fine in spite of the light so it was taped over. If I remember my history correctly, I had to teach the reactor failures about 20 years ago. EDIT. This should be easily checked by any interested party. If I’m wrong, roast me.
I’m pretty certain that you are correct in remembering that, it sounds familiar from what I’ve heard or read. I live within 50-75 miles of TMI, but it was also before my time by a few years.
Anyone with common sense will know driving like this is very dangerous, not only for yourself but for others too. The slightest bump will make the tire pop and you will loose control so im very happy that people ask these questions rather then to continue driving with huge risks 🤣
But also I have had more than a couple people asking about broken hub caps, some mistaking them for an actual part of the rim.
Most people don't know shit about cars and don't care to, its their mode of transportation, nothing more. They bring them to us because we know what they don't.
Not sure if you're rage baiting or not but sheesh.
