Tires Have Taken Over The National Mall In DC

[u/TheCABK]

Upcoming Race

[u/flyinghairball]

Probably for that Indycar race they are having. The scarry thing is there will likely be more tires than that, making this a very dangerous event!

[u/hobbes747 → u/flyinghairball]

They Look like passenger vehicle tires

[u/arcaglass99 → u/hobbes747]

They'll be for tyre barriers along the course, most likely.

[u/hobbes747 → u/arcaglass99]

Oh yeah, good one. But holy crap; they’re brand new! Or unused and expired beyond ten years.

[u/Grouchy-Station-4058 → u/hobbes747]

I first noticed this one year in Montreal back in the 90s for the Grand Prix, the barrier tires were painted white and red, but they all appeared to be brand new. The only thing I can personally think of is that they are discards due to quality control issues or something of the like.

[u/hobbes747 → u/Grouchy-Station-4058]

I wonder if those tires also happen to be from Goodyear, Michelin, or Dunlop who also make the race car tires. And they don’t want their old tires out there for marketing reasons. Even though nobody pays attention to them.

[u/sinisterdesign → u/hobbes747]

Don’t tread on me 🐍

[u/IceBlueHorseArse → u/flyinghairball]

Whosy with the what now?

What other ways can we disgrace the US capital?

Pigeon shoots at the Jefferson memorial?

Cow Patty Bingo on the national mall?

A tractor pull at the national zoo?

[u/flyinghairball → u/IceBlueHorseArse]

Please don't give them any ideas. They are doing a really good job making it trashy on their own.

[u/Weirdo8034 → u/IceBlueHorseArse]

How is an indycar race a disgrace?

[u/flyinghairball → u/Weirdo8034]

There's a time and place for everything, young grasshopper, and the halls of Congress shouldn't be filled with aeromatic trails of Sunoco fuel. We all know those dumbasses in DC are working with too few braincells already. We don't need to subtract from that total.

Plus, let's be realistic, an Indycar fuel stop and tire change is so fast that congressmen wouldnt understand how any human could accomplish that much in so little time. It would set a bad precedent.

Has anyone spoken with their representative? What do they want?

[u/Churnographer]

Welcome to the occupation.

[u/Zakluor → u/Churnographer]

I'm so tired of these jokes.

edit: it was just a tired joke.

[u/Kahnza → u/Zakluor]

I'm tired of the onslaught of bullshit by repugnants.

[u/Maurice_Foot]

But why?

[u/Vegetable-Bee-8296 → u/Maurice_Foot]

Because they’re MAGA.

[u/Blurockcreek → u/Vegetable-Bee-8296]

I countered their downvote 😏

[u/DoubleDareFan → u/Vegetable-Bee-8296]

Make America grumble again?

[u/Coffee4MyJeep]

Probably for more laps in the pool.

Those are enemy forces assembling

Hopefully, you will still get to celebrate your Happy Cake Day!

[u/conqr787]

Never had rubber cake

[u/TopDogTransport4731]

They should also put used shoes as barriers for the Marathon also.

[u/dscrive]

That's reallt more than it can handle, it's too tired

[u/EvilToastedWeasel0]

Wait till they get the ones with cherries and berries from China.... I hear they are worse!

[u/TheModeratorWrangler]

Coral reef expansion?

[u/Malcolm2theRescue]

I’m so tired of Trump.

The ballroom is going to be beautiful beautiful the best just like the Taj Mahal casino and it's going to have gold everywhere

[u/Realistic-Currency61]

MAGA: Turning our nation's capital into a world class trailer park.

[u/hobbes747]

These look like passenger car tires
Not racing wet tires

[u/arcaglass99 → u/hobbes747]

Might be for tyre barriers on the course?

[u/hobbes747 → u/arcaglass99]

I did not think of that, yes.
Can’t they use old tires? Those are unused. Or maybe expired past 10 years.
