We are all familiar with the fable of the anthropomorphic three little pigs and the materials used in building their respective houses.

No doubt the idea of a spare tire is derived from fear: fear of the unknown, concern for the future potential possibilities; anxieties related to what ifs. With the advent of advanced technology in tire manufacturing, the probabilities of a flat tire have exponentially decreased, and perhaps with it, the need for carrying a spare tire has crossed the threshold where such concerns should be allayed entirely. But as with shark attacks, being hit by lightening, […] Read More …
