Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It’s a 2006 Scion hatchback, in really good condition except for a slow leak in one of the tires, and it hasn’t been driven in some time (but it still starts and stuff). They’re literally giving it to me for free.

take it to a tire shop and put a patch on the tire for $15-30 and keep up with regular maintenance on it! drive safe

I've plugged many tires with these kits and they work great. Just remember to read the instructions. You have to use the rubber cement as a lubricant to jam the tar stick into the hole you create with the gritty screwdriver thing.

Lube it up. Don't just try to cram it in there dry.
