Like oil levels, tyre pressure checking for women seems to be an impossibility. Women are so practical in most other ways but when it comes to these basics they seem to rely on divine providence (I wonder if Mrs Second or Mrs Angry Jesus have problems).
The Old Girl's Peugeot has badly worn front tyres way beyond what they should be showing. They will have to be replaced early. They are Pirelli low profile and cost a fortune. We received a Magnamail brochure through the mail, one of those that screams at us on the cover that we have probably won $25,000, all we have to do is order something and see. They have a 'Fast Inflate Air Compressor for sale for $49.90. This runs off the car battery and can also check tyre pressures. I'm tempted to buy it because the 50 bucks could save hundreds in tyre replacement.

Comeinyourpants,
Women concern themselves with more important things than checking tyres, changing a light bulb, or nailing a couple of bits of wood together.
Have I taught you nothing?
When Shelley's car started having problems, she simply swapped cars with me until hers is fixed.
Simple, but brilliant. This is why women live longer than men.
Woman was made from Adam's rib. Then there was that problem with the snake. I think women think too differently.
They confuse me.
Brilliant post.
I strongly agree with The Curmudgeon. Women are eminently practical, but lack practical technology skills.
Make a soufflé, yes.
Put oil in the correct engine port, no.
My beloved has had her own car for 25 years, and in that time has never:
checked or filled the oil
checked or filled the radiator
checked or filled the washer bottle
checked or filled the tyres
re-charged the battery after she ran it completely down while trying to start her car when the petrol tank was empty.
Apparently anything that goes wrong is my fault.
To be fair, I did see her clean the passenger side vanity miror. Once.
Not ALL women.
