that's not the type of fixation I want for him! plus, if he started talking no one would want to see me, they'd want to see him

Nah, he'd be way to hipster about it all (only smoking clove cigarettes because that's what Snake Pliskin smoked). And people would eventually just walk by him awkwardly ignoring the fella.
Eventually he would begin to see the negative effects on his health and social life. In an effort to turn his life around he'll quit smoking, and turn his oral fixation to gum chewing. Then he would just look like an athlete. After all, everybody likes a gum chewer.

gum chewing is more attractive than a wad of tobacco in your mouth

The carrying around of a spit-bottle by some tobbacky-chewers makes it even far more unattractive.

Or their penchant for leaving said bottles lying around for one of us to unexpectedly happen by it. All around an unpleasant habit. Gum chewing is much more favorable... And it's fun too!!

Catch can is a great project for those who like to work on their car with a beer on the engine cover. Just an all around pleasant install.

I need to figure out who near me can put on stripes and I need to figure out if it would be better to buy rims and then buy tires locally or if this package (tires with the wheels) deal is really good.
