Tales of Teh St00pid

Yesterday, I saw something stoopid.

Someone was driving a late-80's model Ford LTD Crown Victoria on IH35. This is a car that personified the massive V8 road boats of the mid 20th Century. Huge freakin' car. In it were the driver and maybe five other people. LTDs are good for that and the extra room, cheap price, and relatively simple mechanical repair aspects make them somewhat popular in the lower-income communities for familiy cars.

Teh St00pid reason why I'm mentioning all this?

The left rear tire was a donut. This guy was driving a loaded LTD down a major interregional highway at 70 MPH with a fucking donut spare! I think the rubber was under so much stress that it had been compressed down to providing only an inch or so of distance between road and rim. The driver was taking care not to make even moderate lane changes, since the vast mass of the car would probably tear the remaining rubber right off the rim and drive the wheel into the pavement if the car swayed too far or sharply in one direction.

I wish I had a picture.
