What is known as a 'skinny', but only if you exercise to get a six pack?

That’s nothing new. I’ve had a spare tyre for years!

How come it took so long to swap it, Joe?
Is that from the Laguna you've had since 1928?

No , I don't have the Laguna I won in a Christmas contest because customs deemed it a toxic waste dump.
.. it's a sensitive subject I'd rather not discuss..
Anyway.. why did it take so long to .. yada yada
I had to find the time to get out to a salvage yard and find a good rim and tyire.
Furthermore I had to wait for a break in the rain or I would have needed a skiff (with a life raft) to get out to them.
