You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that?

It's just common sense


So what you are saying is that you've have to be further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. And that you can be really far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? Your guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It is definitely common sense and you Sir made it very clear. Crystal Clear.

The rubber tires have metal wire in them. No, the tires don't insulate you.

Depends how thick, clean, and dry your crocs are. You'd prob be fine but I'm not sure that's a die you want to roll.

It is a myth that the tires protect you – the metal of your car conducts electricity around you, as if you are a bird sitting on a power line.


Had a neighbor that has his combine hit a power line. The combine driver knew he was touching the line so he starts to back up. Guy in the grain truck jumps out of truck runs over to the combine and grabs the ladder. The electricity went through him and exited his hip taking the rest of his leg with it.
So yes tires do insulate you until you step out.
