I'm up to complete car number 4 or 5. Tyres are in the dozens somewhere. Car shells approaching double digits.

I kind of wish I had the interest (, knowledge, patience, and time) to repair the old ones cause I reckon they're all only a few minor parts away from being good again.

This way this cars first trip out... And it came back with two busted tyres.

Expensive hobby.

The car that the dog chomped was one that had big tyres and when you drive it you can flip it over and keep going in the direction it came. It was his favourite. Anyway from what I can remember a new tyre cost as much as a new car.

Cars and helicopters is what he's into and that's his only hobby. He gets to play with them outside when the dog's inside because the dog takes that sport very seriously.

I know my husband looks at a lot of YouTube videos if he needs to repair shit so maybe have a look at that.
