Thought I’d seen it all but today one of those Escalade P/U’s with obscenely huge wheels and low profile tires turned sharply beside me while I was walking past in the parking lot and the tires were hitting the inside of the fenders! What’s this obsession with ginormous wheels about anyway? They are impractical on so many levels, outrageously expensive and look stupid on anything other than a Caterpillar 797.
Maybe I’m in the wrong neighborhood or just an old crustacean but it looks like the idiocracy will deliver the fatal blow to car culture long before we run out of oil.
