Lol, I was waiting for the "or fell off".

One of my wheel covers came a little loose on Ron Burgundy last week and I took it off. Hopefully I will get time to put it back on this weekend, but luckily it was one of the rear ones.

Lucky me! I must have got the last phenobulator before they ran out. (Willing to trade for AL magnets.)

Do aluminum magnets work on gasoline?

Would they happen to have grid squares? I have been looking for a box of those since Basic!

For gasoline you need the AC-powered aluminum type with full,counter-phase,collapsed-bridge rectifier, riding an Escher transformacyclabeam Mandelbrott polyform oscillator output,routed through a standard apochromatic stereo Gauss lens.And the gas should be pre-treated by filtering through a porous Peltier junction.
Sorry,nothing square.
