My birthday is at the end of the week, and I want to drive my damn car. So I needed new rubber.

The old tires were apparently made in 1994, they’re almost as old as I am! So I loaded up the Bebop with stinky rubber and took it to the tire store.

Bang. Tires made in this century. I’m really close to getting this mess on the road, I want to drive it this week more than anything!

Good luck man! You helped get the Cletusvette on the road. Now it’s the Datsun’s turn.

Damn right! I’ve had it for so long, I think doing the Corvette just put a giant fire in my belly. I’m really jealous that he’s driving around and I’m not.

The tires I just replaced were 4 whole years newer than that! I knew I could have just kept them.

Yeah these were all dry rotted and horrible, never would have passed the inspection I need to do this week.

I’m hoping to take it out to the Rockies soon, I’ll have my GoPro and DSLR!

Not to mention could have killed your ass. Here in the great state of Washington we don’t have inspections but the laws of physics still apply which is why I wimped out and bought new tires. Also, I got tired of pumping them up.

I am a fuel pump away from making noise.

If you ever want to take it over the rockies, I’m in Kelowna if you need anything.

Dude that would be great! I’d love to do the Kelowna/Kamloops hill climb.

True. These are way better, but they’re still only going to last as long as the tiny 4.5" wheels are, I’m going to be shopping for some wider ones soon.
