I work in IT as well. Please! Let's not even go there....

This is why I mentioned that I normally let things like this go.

If it were just that, I would have kept the wheels. Obviously if I get mud on the wheels, I need to spray it off to get back to balance. But what if it just rains, or I do clean the mud off the wheels and this groove is full of water, then it freezes into a block of ice? I lived with it for years and hated it, even though it probably only affected me for a week or two out of the year. It was frustrating.

I understood the ice issue also, it would drive me crazy too. I was working from T Bone's first comment and debate about his Engineering Education and terminology.
