Serious engineering required to make that fail date exactly after the warranty expires.

I’m reminded of a Volkswagen ad from the VW Beetle days:

All the cars in the world with a 3-year warranty: Rolls Royce.

All the cars in the world with a 2-year warranty: Volkswagen.

All the cars in the world with a 1-year warranty: Everyone else.

This is a leap year, should you should still be good.

The warranty won’t apply until bumpers are invented.

Or a ranty war.

day 367, Thor sneaks around ensuring that everybody will be interested in getting a new wheel.

With all those failing wheels, it’s back to the grind……..

Bumper? What bumper?

warranty-a legal vehicle that runs out the day before your actual vehicle dies

There are no bumpers.

How do you get at exactly 366 days when different people put different mileages on there wheels?

Actually, if it was 366 days of real driving, that could be a really good deal.

Guess he doesnt sell anything during a leap year.

Makes The Count think of the wonderful whimsical poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes poem “The Deacon’s Masterpiece or The One Horse Shay”… that lasted for 100 years and a day. Probably bumped from junior high literature curricula for “Timmy Has Two Mommies and Even After Years of Therapy Became a Serial Killer with Their Own Docuseries on Netflix”.

Full refund if you ’re killed in an accident.

Why would they not last 365 days?

Took my car in for its yearly checkup and learned that FL law requires that tires MUST be replaced every six years. . .haven’t had or needed tires since 2017—shows how much I drive. . .course, there WERE those two hip operations AND covid. . .Anyway, what should have cost about a hundred ended up costing a thousand. . .

Okay, where it the humor in todays offering? This is real world stuff today.

One sorta has to ask where they put the bumper.

He made sure to factor in leap year.

……not worth it!!!!

It’s like the song about the grandfather’s clock that lasted exactly as long as the man it was gifted to on the day he was born. He stopped and it stopped.

This guy’s tires are timed to croak at the end of the warranty. Most problems show up the day after.

One hoss shay.

Gotta Run Automobiles “We’re opening new locations everyday!”

Those wheels are made with stone that disintegrates after 1 year. No wonder archeologists haven’t been able to find traces of it

I wonder how he has them shipped from prehistoric China? By Chinese dragon?

I’d say, “365 and 9/32 days.” Nowadays, no one under 70 will figure it out.

Read the fine print.

Warranty Chiseled in stone ! Wheels chiseled from stone

Buy during leap year.

In the late 1950s, before digital devices were commonplace, I started believing that automobile batteries had a built in calendar/timer that was set to destroy the battery about one week after the warranty expired. Couldn’t imagine how they did it.
