the firestones final poped

i was on my way home from the local store. i had to stop at the light before my road. nobody was around....i decided to see how long i could keep them spinning. the light tured green and i just sat there..the there was so much smoke pouring out of the wells i couldn't see behind me. then i hear a big o bang. got out and sure enough. it was flat....i put 30,000 on those tires and they have been bald since 20,000...i think i got my use out of them.

I like the firestones.....I can do burnouts whenever I want....soon as I wear 'em out I can get some real tires.

Oh well, it's a good excuse to get a new set of tires... I mean they aren't totally useless, but hey... you got the cash, I wanna see some smoke!
