While this is obviously taken to the extreme - it might solve the “squared-off” issue. A stretched tire will be a bit rounder and theoretically give a better combination of both worlds: wider, but still with enough roundness for better cornering.

Congrats. But get the watch. You don’t have to open it. Just set it on the mantle and tell people it’s a major award. 

Bring-A-Trailer is a wonderful place to see all sorts of exotic, unusual, rare, offbeat, bizarre, impossible to find, and otherwise drool-worthy machines. I’m on the site far too many times every day for sound mental health. It’s fantastic entertainment, like watching the Barrett-Jackson auctions.

Republicans would not know a balanced budget even if it was pegging them in the mens room at the Minneapolis airport.

Fuck Jeremy Clarkson.

The Bentley Continental GT is my daily...
