No you're not, Man in Black Although I can see how you city slickers feel that a car with a little bed on it (a 1500) is long. The Smart and other micro cars exist because of people like you.

Okay, if a 1500 with a real bed is a bus, what is my girlfriend's crew cab longbed? Or my 3500 with a longer wheelbase and a 9' bed?

Tire shops have no choice. For it to be a legal repair the tire must be dismounted and the liner inspected. At that point you might as well use the real thing, installed from the inside.

Time to buy a Safety Seal kit, if you don't already have one.

Well, as long as it doesn't hurt the cars....

No car covers, no dust, no problems.

Too late now but I'd highly recommend the Milwaukee Fuel M18 version.

You're not fully awake yet, are you Man in Black? Regular aluminum wheels don't rust either, but can corrode. Carbon fiber won't.

I know. Been running those curb feelers for no reason.

Get some carbon fiber wheels. They don't rust.

Maybe you should relocate? We don't have any curbs here. And if you're nice I'd mount new tires for you without damaging the rims.

I hope you put them down again. They're not that light.

Or live where it's sunny and/or the temperature exceeds 30 degrees.

Oops, I may have misunderstood the thread title. My latest new car purchase was most likely also my last. There's nothing out there that interests me - besides, I have enough cars as it is.

My latest new car was the '23 Challenger GT AWD, after that I got a '19 Durango GT AWD. The most recent arrival is my girlfriend's Crew Cat. It was a bit tricky to find a new '23 Charger a few months ago, in Granite.

So buy a smaller car...and put black wheels on it?

I'm under the impression that wimmin with a certain amount of width aren't particularly picky.

And it had to be the one time I didn't check and change the diff fluid at 500-1,000 miles. Oh well, catching it at about 2,000 still helped save the 3500's axle. That and a few fluid changes and many times cleaning the magnet.

Yeah, sometimes you wonder "Where the hell did this come from?" My guess is that the axle housing wasn't cleaned out all that well after being machined. Thank God for magnetic level plugs.

Hopefully without any "technical issues", like you experienced this morning.
