[TR] Welcome secondary effects

[Jim Muller]

As I was leaning against a front tire and contemplating which bell 
housing bolt to put in next, I noticed a curious bright spot of shiny 
metal against the black of the tire tread.  A few seconds of digging 
with needlenose pliers revealed a 3/4" long nail, sans head, worn 
away no doubt against the road surface, embedded in a high spot of 
the tread.  No air escapes through the hole left behind when I 
removed it but I shall pay it close attention.

Perhaps all the labor of pulling and disassembling and re-installing 
the GT6 gearbox was just Providence's way of getting me to notice the 
tire.  A damned roundabout way of doing so but nevertheless I am 
grateful.  One shouldn't overlook these small favors.
