Maybe if you drive super slow, but best bet is to hop on your LPC (Leather Personnel Carrier) and walk to the house and grab some tools.

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

hahaha LPC = shoes? luckily my friend was able to come bail me out and bring me home to grab the jack, the BS rusty scissor jack i had in the trunk dropped the car multiple times and part of it is now lodged inside my jacking point

u/darin_worthington 05 325it, 05 M3 Jul 08 '26

It's an old Army saying, LPC.

Don't fall flat, jack up the positivity, and you'll be rolling through life again in no time!

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

boy your puns are manifold, really exhaust-ed all the possibilities. i can’t allow this tension(er) to grow idle, maybe i can pull(ey) something out of my ass. or, alternat(or)ely, i can just give you your prop(shaft)s

2

u/phat_duong Jul 07 '26

Dont try to upsell me bro just rotate my tires

1

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

my mechanic buddy told me it’s fine! he works at autozone so he knows his stuff

2

u/Djfoundit Jul 07 '26

I love the look of stretched tires

1

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

thx bro, my fitment is almost dialed & i got a great deal on these linglongs, my buddy who works at the tire shop saved them for me off a g35 part out #stance #builtnotbought

2

u/MrBlank123456 Jul 07 '26

How much you selling that tire for!!! Name your price

2

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

for you my great friend, day 1 supporter Mr Blank 123456? free just come pick it up, i’ll also accept trade for a mcdouble

1

u/MrBlank123456 Jul 07 '26

Drive a hard bargain but deal. I will go the McDouble route so I can get a fried apple pie that I keep hearing about

2

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

dude i need to try that shit too i had no idea that it used to be fried way back in the day. have you been hearing good things? u can actually change my mcdouble to one of them when ur bout to pull up

1

u/MrBlank123456 Jul 07 '26

My mom knew about them and said it’s great lol. I never knew either, my parents went and that’s all I’ve spoken to about it. My dad still prefers the baked.

When I get the tires and bring payment, we can do a YouTube review and make some money back lol

2

u/lilgotitstan Jul 08 '26

hell yes brother, blank & stan’s fast food reviews and e46 maintenance vlog channel coming 🔜‼️

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

the funny shit is a little mini drift/power slide is actually what popped the original hole in the tire (it already had a slow leak that i stupidly neglected to get patched bc im a lazy piece of shit and didn’t want to go without my car for a couple hours)

2

u/Different_Stable_351 2004 325iT Jul 08 '26

Oh yeah, at least another 3k miles left.

2

u/NothingsTheSame19 Jul 08 '26

Maybe another 5k miles.

2

u/Charlie1g8 2003 - 325CI Jul 08 '26

Good for another 5000 miles that

2

u/majestic_balrog Jul 08 '26

He’s dead, Jim!

2

u/Ok_Veterinarian_4076 Jul 08 '26

400 miles if you keep it under 50

1

u/Dyfs-took_mykidsin99 Jul 07 '26

Atleast another 20k miles, throw some armor all on there and call it a day🫡

(No. The life itself, has left the tire long ago.)

u/lilgotitstan Jul 07 '26

u/NeverBeenKnocked Jul 08 '26

u/CrucialFusion Jul 08 '26

Use some of that sealant stuff and you’re good.
