This sentence “ And a week, year or longer waves like cutting nails, tanking a car, renewing a passport”

I initially read that the author only cuts his nails once per year. Yuck…

Then I realized he was more likely giving an example of weekly.

Anyone else read it that way?

What is "tanking a car"?

[thenerdhead]

filling up the gas tank with fuel.

thanks, changed to "refueling a car"

[whiterock]

probably a „germanism“.
