disco tyres are of a higher profile so 19's still have high sidewalls, unlike Dave who is very short  At work

Even the SWMBO is asking if you passed a driving test? Was he having a period? Adding he should be ashamed of himself, thats no way to treat a car and the car will always be damaged now, he's devalued it. I am trying to keep a straight face.

Will the council sue you for damaging their kerb? At work
