    If only there was an alternative.
    What if we replace vulcanized rubber with a metal ring 🤔

      Maybe it could also run on some kind of metal street, to further reduce friction? 🤔

        we could probably manage traffic much easier if switching was controlled vs. random drivers…

      Sounds like it’ll be rough on the road, but I’m willing to try it! /s

      I miss the trains of NJ and NYC so badly, this part of Texas fucking sucks with public transportation. Losing access to a car here has you flirting dangerously close to homelessness. Which is also why I’ll usually give a ride to anyone who asks around here.

      To make sure it doesn’t destroy the road we could put metal in them also…

      I see where you’re going. We should all switch to steel tracked Abrams tanks! /jk
