B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for July 10, 2024

“The Club” was different back then, too — you clubbed the thief with it.

A bit of a rough ride though.

Love these updated caveman events. :-)

“….Works a little TOO well for my tastes.”

Insurance will have major discounts on that model

B.C. is obviously getting a square deal, but not as good as George F. Johnson’s Square Deal policy in Endicott, New York during the Great Depression.

That ain’t no wheel. That a square.

In the wheel selling business, that is what is called “a flat tire.”

Note on how it draws the customer’s fascinated, (rapt) attention.

Anti-theft = Anti-useful (for driving/riding)

People don’t steal what they don’t want.

I own a 1992 Dodge Dakota Trunk. It has an “electrical leak:” that is if I leave it more than a couple of days without driving it, the battery gets drained.

My mechanic found the source of the leak. It will cost several hundred dollars to fix it IF he can find the part. Instead for a bit over $50 we installed a “kill switch” on the battery. So I have to open up the hood and connect the battery when I want to use the truck and then turn it off when I put it away for the night.

Somebody commented that the switch is a good anti-theft device. I think the fact that the truck is 32 years old is deterrence enough.

It still runs well and when I need it, it’s there.

With one of the highest ratings in stolen vehicles, that would go over well in Canada.

Mythbusters tried a car with square wheels and found once it got up to speed it worked well but the abuse to the system destroy the car.

does it also have a anti-buyers package too. :J

Always in “Park”!!!!

Ah yes, the block head model. First invented for a kid named Charlie Brown.

Mythbusters did create at set of square wheels for a car and it rode.

I remember when “standard equipment” did not even include a heater. My dad’s last car before the war was a 1940 Chevy and I watched as he and my uncle spent a Sunday mounting a heater under the dash. They had to drill holes through the firewall for the coolant hoses for heat and electric lines for the fan. In those days turn signals consisted of sticking your left arm out the window which was mandatory. Up was right turn straight out was left turn and down was slow down and stop. No fun in rain or cold weather. And my own cars through the 1950s had those godawful vacuum actuated wipers. When you stepped on the gas after a stop the wipers slowed way down just when you needed them the most so that you were almost blinded.

The square one is what we would still be suing if republicans invented the wheel, and we would still be living in caves. Conservatives hate change and improvements to life.

Everybody talks about the invention of the wheel, but nobody talks about the invention of the square

Looks more like the “I’m too lazy to make it round” deal.

as well as speed control. the insurance companies will like that feature

You’re gonna a good set of shocks on that thing.

Imported from The Bizarro World!

These days an anti-theft device on a car is the manual transmission. Not many young people know how to drive that!

There’s a special code entry system on the side of the square wheel. After you enter a code number, the wheel becomes round, allowing you to travel normally.

The thief merely picks it up. The buyer can’t use it. It ends up being a paper weight or countertop.

B.C. got the idea for the Tire Boot, but his company’s single stock share had poor earnings for a couple millennia.

Not a hot seller.

This is the B.C. equivalent to having a stick shift. :D

It will get you as far as an EV
