I've been having to go up to Palmdale a bit lately (thankfully counter-traffic). What I cannot help but notice is the huge quantity of tire fragments on the road. Is this due to the heat? Those malfunctioning Chinese tires? Or are people trying to save a buck and riding on worn out tires for a mile too many? I do not have a direct YOY comparison, so I'll have to withhold judgment. But if anyone has a link to a web page describing any trend on vehicle safety due to people being stupidly cheap on tire replacement, I would love to peruse.

Neil,
I enjoy your posts on Ben Jones' excellent RE blog. I am organizing a presentation between a Bull and a Bear on real estate for my office. I would like to invite you to make the Bear Case. If you are interested, e-mail me at winkfieldtwyman@yahoo.com. Thanks. I hope you are interested.

While I doubt anyone will read this observations from the last few days:
Two Ford Ranger pickups shredded their tires on the 14.
One Camry had a blowout
Some type of minivan was pulled over to change a tire.
A full size pickup was being assisted in a tire changer (5 or 10 year old Chevy).
An old civic drove by me with one tire replaced by the spare.
A Kia drove by me with one tire replaced by the spare.
Excuse me?!? I'm not a slow driver (but I try not to be the fastest) and I'm being passed by people riding on their limited use (mini) spare tire?!?
Got popcorn?
Neil
