Copy & paste this:


They must be Canadian.
If they could find some way to hook-up water to it, it would give them a little cushier ride…
Water does not compress….. would make the ride harder.
Yes, but rubber hose stretches. So it would bow out on the top side in response to pressure on the ground side.
Also liquids do have SOME limited compressibility. This is how hydraulics work, and high-pressure common-rail fuel injectors.
So there, Brandon. :p
Hydraulics work specifically because fluids are NOT compressible.
New Outkast pimpin’ tires: We lose this hose!
(sorry).
of course I meant loVe deez hose.
But really it’s optimized for self-extinguishing burnout.
Take off, you hoser. :p
Now that’s funny.
Ya’ think so? I was just going for mildly amusing…
It would be better if the wheel was a hose reel, then it would be real pimpin’.
Reely?
Gnaw, it would be kinda stupid.
The green gardenhose snake is a member of the constrictor family. While digesting its last meal (an all-season radial), it cleverly camouflages itself while it lies in wait for its next victim…
“Don’t tread on me.”
They should be extra careful to avoid hydroplaning.
Brief assessment of the damage:
Tire…hosed
Rim…shot
Ba dum bum *tss*
Uncanny! That’s EXACTLY how it sounded rolling down the road!
If you purposely made a leak in the hose and started driving, you could create a water slick behind you that would make cars behind you slip up on the water.
Although, I don’t know what kind of situation would need that.
I’m sure Speed Racer would benefit…
I feel a little less bad about my car. But not much.
The first plan was to use rubber bands, but they couldn’t bear to dismember their great rubber-band-ball.
What with the Guinness World record almost beat, there was just no way that was gonna happen.
This is the best art style I have ever seen! Here, we have seen the melding of two great modern styles, gardening and cars, rolled into one! One can see the feeling just oozing out of this piece!
Take a close look at the curves of the hose as it wraps around the rim. It represents the vanity of our constant travel and speed and tells us that we instead must go back to nature. Note not too far back, because they still use garden hose instead of a creek bed. Truthfully, who made this so they can design my home!
Wow! I seriously could have used this idea a few years ago! I had to put tireless rims on my trailer to get it to fit in the garage. The hose would have saved wear and tear on the driveway! Brilliant!
I don’t have either the trailer or garage any more.
But do you still have the driveway?
Why not just let the air out of the tires then place trailer in garage?
I always liked the Chevy Tahose.
150 hp hose take up reel. What’s not to like?
It goes from 0 to 200 feet it 5.9 seconds…flat. Punch it, Margaret!!

This kludge brought to you by my husband, who once fixed a broken radiator belt with my pantyhose. Hey, it worked until we got home.
If it looks stupid and it works, it ain’t stupid.
Radiator belt?
I’m sure she meant “fan belt”.
The ads did say that the only by-product would be water. They neglected to inform how it would exit the system…
Rim and a hose: it’s the new wing and a prayer.
Fire fighters found the best way to transport their hose and saving on tires. Someone told me they use a snake on one of the four tires. Hopefully they have got a spare tire made with ties in case the hose breaks.
Portable car wash… Doin’ it wrong.
Many years ago, Popular Mechanics Magazine carried a story about someone doing this with rope. They also had one about someone using bacon rind in place of babbit bearings on a Model T.
Now I’m wheely hungry.
I could go for stewed babbit myself.
Babbit season…duct season…babbit season…duct season!
Look honey, no more sweaty and dirty passengers in our care no more!
I’m disturbed at how enticingly ingenious I find this idea to be.
I’m loving it so much I may add a length of worn out garden hose to my car toolkit. Can also be used as a makeshift tow-rope or tie-down, as well as syphoning fuel, coolant, oil, or helping to seat a replacement spark plug.
Hmm… yeah!
The only question is, how do you get it full of water, or do you tie it on flat? Typical car rims have a fair amount of dishing, so that’d need lots of empty hose vs the amount of full.

Lol, I’m a little embarrassed to say that this was in South Africa… And this isn’t even the worst I’ve seen!!
Reminds me of a story I heard from a guy who blew a tire on his moutain bike (no spare tube) and made it down the mountain with a tire full of cedar branches
THAT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING I HAVE EVER SEEN– IT IS SO BAD IT IS AWESME>
Now they can get out in no time flat!

As I can see, nobody notice that FIRST AIR-FILLED TIRES WAS MADE FROM GARDEN HOSE by mr. Dunlop for his son´s bike
