hahaha... that's funny as hell... make it in the shape of a honda h... maybe wrap it in foil to look like chrome and keep the moisture in a little longer.

Are you that cheap? j/k. I know at Wal-mart and places they sell air fresheners in the scents of some colonges. What I do is I just spray some colonge in the car, and that keeps it fresh for a couple of days.

Oh hey thats easy, simply put the tire loosely around the rim( this isn't hard to do) Once its around, spray the inside with WD-40 or lighter fluid both work well. Then, stand back a few feet, light a ligher or match, and spray the WD-40 can aimed at the tire, this will cause the lighter fluid/WD-40 inside to ignite and expand the air inside the tire and make it fit. However u can't DIY balance without a machine.

Hey, that's an old 4-wheeling trick. Back in the days(7months ago) when I had my tricked out 4-runner, they had a guy that was a master at that. He used to do it sometimes when we were on the trail. I never tried it though......too scared something would go wrong and I'd set myself on fire. lol [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Yup,. that is an old offroading trick. My friends dad has a jeep that is all done up and he used lighter fluid to quickly inflate his tires. It works like a dream...

Daniel420- The fire doesn't burn up the air, it only burns the oxygen in the air converting it to other gasses. The air expands because it is heated.
