OTOH I like the helmet as much as the car.

edit: I thought I was confused only an hour ago:

I had a flat on my Fit once. Rear tire. The only way I knew was that it felt a little sloppy back there in turns. The stance of the car was completely normal.

I took the winter wheels/tires off this weekend.

Discovered some bad news:

Apparently frozen coroplast is extremely well-suited for cutting rubber. The tire in question is badly sliced & gouged underneath the rim of the, ahem, pizza-cutter, where it made contact with the barely noticeable flat-tire-bulge as it rotated & compressed over several hundred (?) km.

The cuts are deep enough that a normal person would probably throw this tire away. Me being me, I'll probably just demote it for use at the rear only.

Double-whammy! Not only did I waste fuel, my fuel-saving mod wasted the tire.

I'm an unashamed fan of Matt Farah's The Smoking Tire. I've really never left being interested in cars which are cool, I've simply integrated fuel efficiency into a spectrum of things I like. I still want a classic wagon, carburetor and all, but I might now have it with a six-cylinder with a Borg-Warner overdrive box.

Don't think of it as a (double) failure, think of it as a valuable lesson:
