I realize not everyone would be driving while listening but it certainly puts me on immediate "clenched muscles" fight-or-flight reaction until I realize it's just a commercial.
There’s a gas station with an air pump about ten to twelve blocks from my house, I had to make that trek once with a slow leak having depleted one tire.~
