Default Iger Paws!

Uniroyal introduced their new RWL Tiger Paw tires.....and I saved up enough cash to buy a set for my '69 Camaro convertible.

So...I let Precious use my car that day.....

she comes stomping into the house......

Her: "Those new tires are defective!"

Me: Just great....what are they doing?

Her: "The white letters that YOU spent all the money ON are falling OFF!"

Me: THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!

Her: "OH YEAH! GO LOOK!"

Sure enough.....The brand new "T" is missing off the front passenger-side tire.

I looked closer......the "T" had been sheared off!

I go back into the house....."Did you bump any curbs today?"

Her: "Yes...leaving the parking lot at the Winn Dixie.....but what does that have to do with defective tires?!?!"

I drive to the grocery store parking lot and search the pavement at all exits.......THERE'S MY BRAND NEW "T"......against a jagged section of curb!

Me (mumbling to myself): Ohhhh well......where's the tube of rubber cement.

I know the situation's not funny and the tires are expensive but you kill me. Every time I read something you have written, I can't help but laugh. You just have a way with words.

This cracks me up! And it also tells me I`m not alone!

Back when she started driving her freshly built 72 Chevelle....

wife: "You need to take a look at my car, it`s making a noise in the front".
me: "It`s the front brakes, I changed the rears, but still need to do the fronts.
But you`re not going very fast, just running up to the store & back".
wife: "You have to".
me: "Have to what?"
wife: "Go fast. You can`t drive that car slow. Every time you hit the gas pedal, it squeals the tires!"
me: "I`ll do the brakes tomorrow!"

(Yup.... she`s a blonde!)
