pit stops
Quick tire changes
Pit stops are brief pauses during a journey, originally from auto racing where cars pull into the pit area for fuel, tire changes, and repairs.
The term now applies to any quick break while traveling: We made a few pit stops for gas and snacks.
A pit stop can also mean a quick bathroom break.
