The Q-Boat's right front tire has fallen to a giant pothole. Fortunately, it's still drivable, it did no wheel damage, I'm taking it in for a service this afternoon anyways, and it has a full size spare in the trunk. Pothole blowouts don't get much more convenient than that.

If it's still quite round the belts are probably still mostly ok and you should be able to drive it for a while. I have seen worse damage that had been hiding in the inner side.

I think you're thinking of a U-Boat .
Q-Boat was an allied thing .

I know what a q-boat is and it's terminology regarding "sleeper" sedans. I can fucking read, I know the fucking difference between fucking Qs and fucking Us, for fucks sake.
I was just saying of all things for you to call your car, I totally saw this one coming.

Alright, I just figured it was some quip regarding Nazis or something.

c'mon, man! You should know me better than that by now! I don't make underhanded catty passive aggressive comments, I come right out and say what's on my mind.
For example: I think calling your car a Q-Boat is both nerdy and pompous. Get a more self depreciating nickname, like I have for my car.

I use the name Q-Boat somewhat sarcastically (and I am both nerdy an pompous). If you'd like to think of a different one, I'm open to suggestions.

I second this. I hit a pot hole and bubbled my tire. Didn't have the money to fix it at the time but got about 500 miles out of it until it finally let out.

I don't know anything about your car, but I sometimes refer to mine as Paulie Walnuts .

I dunno, but mine has to be something fairly German, because the car and myself are fairly German.
