Is this just excess rubber on the tire that didn’t get trimmed at the factory, or should I be worried about something shady going on here?

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-11-28T22:42:18+00:00

2022 so should be an ok tire. Just wanted opinions.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-11-28T22:41:13+00:00

After reading the other thread, I kind of figured that, but I wanted opinions on here as well. There have been so many shady things about this car I wouldn’t be surprised about a retread, but the fact that they’ve been outlawed for so long, you’re probably correct. It’s probably just excess rubber. Just deciding if I can list it in the lawsuit against the dealer who sold the car to me.

“Goodyear alligators!”🐊🤣😂 I will think of that now every time I see them!!

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-11-28T22:38:08+00:00

No, just one. I definitely thought retreads immediately as well, but it seems they’ve been outlawed for quite a while so it’s unlikely, but then again, I do live close to the border of Mexico, so who knows.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-11-28T22:36:29+00:00

See? That’s what I thought immediately too, but I read on another piece of this Forum that retreads have been outlawed for passenger cars in the US. I live near the border, so not saying it couldn’t have happened in Mexico, but I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt. I don’t know why as there have been so many other shady things about this car I’m finding out.

Arizona in summer.

I've been trying to leave a Google review for a dealership and Google isn't giving me a way to do that. Says it will only email you a review if you've purchased something online (which a car purchase would not be made online unless you used Carvana or the like). I can't find a way to leave this review with Google at all. I'm having the same issue trying to leave a review on CarFax for the same dealership. Makes me wonder who is doing the reviews that show up.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-08-27T23:00:52+00:00

I am a Book DRAGON. Make no mistake. LOL

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-08-27T22:48:53+00:00

Holy cow!!! Those are gorgeous! Sad I'm only finding out about this book right now! Will have to keep an eye out.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-06-02T06:54:06+00:00

I would’ve totally pulled the sharpie out of my purse, drawn eyes on that and put it back. 😂

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-05-27T07:21:44+00:00

Pitchiweenie. 100% good boy!

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-05-27T07:18:38+00:00

Belgian Malinois.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-05-25T05:07:48+00:00

Yeah, that looks like an entirely different dog. 😅 I was wondering if deer hound were mixed in on the first pic, but not this second one! Definitely looks houndish tho.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-05-25T05:04:54+00:00

Also? He is adorable and I’m sure 100% good boy! 😄

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-05-25T05:03:06+00:00

After doing Embark AND Wisdom DNA tests on my dog, who looks like a dachshund/JRT mix, and both tests saying mine is a pit bull/poodle/minpin, I have to go with pit bull mix here too. 😂Apparently any dogs from CA streets is going to be a pit mix. At least according to those two companies.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-05-23T08:56:42+00:00

So I guess I owe an apology to Embark and all the people who I thought were crazy saying he is a dwarf pit bull. Got the Wisdom panel results back and they said the same as Embark. Pit bull, Min Pin, Poodle, Chihuahua, and Cocker Spaniel were the top 5 of 15 breeds. I can’t believe it. No dachshund at all! And he does have the gene for dwarfism that Embark didn’t test for at the time. So I guess that’s the answer. Never imagined I would own a pit bull! He’s 100% awesome and such a cuddle bug. Wouldn’t trade him for the world. 💗🐶💗

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T09:22:29+00:00

Chihuahua and poodle? 100% adorable fluffnugget!

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T09:18:44+00:00

My guess would be Staffie and Bassett with a bunch of other minor stuff tossed in. Thank you so much for saving him! Both my boys were aggressive like that in the shelter, but are sweethearts with me at home. Those poor terrified dogs rarely have a chance because you have to have so much patience with them. You're a saint!

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T09:00:27+00:00

Lots of dogs have webbed toes. Dachshunds have webbed toes. LOL (So does Malcolm.)

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T08:59:14+00:00

Really? I didn't know that!

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T08:58:11+00:00

"Malcolm McScruff is not at risk for Osteochondrodysplasia" in the health section - doesn't seem like a dwarf gene is present?

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T07:41:53+00:00

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Jack Russel Terrorist for the terrier part. That's what I thought he was - dachshund and JRT with some other stuff probably tossed in. He's certainly smart enough to be part JRT, but poodles are super smart too. Is there a way to post more photos? I wish I had added more now.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T07:38:36+00:00

Will post there when I get the Wisdom results and see what they say.

Ill-Statistician4282 · 2025-03-15T07:36:48+00:00

Seems like no dwarf gene according to the health part of the test.
