That's ok. I drive a Volvo, so even if I crash spectacularly, I'll probably just get out, dust my shoulders off and carry on with my day:shobon:

I'm 69 and got my first car when I was 16. I've had two cars in my life and my current SUV has over 160k miles so never OP. Tire goons.

just because you sink more money than it would cost to get a few functional cars doesnt make the fact that you've had only two cars a huge bragging point OP

This thread was worth it just for the guy who got mad at me for paying too much for tires. Hell, even if those expensive tires were worthless they would've been worth buying just for how hilariously incensed they got him. Voted 5.

I don't have a car at the moment, but I remember that my old car had tires.

Most of the time, the tires were round, which I believe was to be preferred, and at one time, one of the tires wasn't round at all (not preferable).

That's my tired story.
