This reminds me of Caddyshack, where Rodney Dangerfield says:

"This is the worst looking hat I ever saw. I bet you buy a hat like this and you get a free bowl of soup! Oh, it looks good on you though."

Only if you are directly related to a rap star, NBA/NFL player, or use afro sheen weekly. It wouldn't fit the persona.

But hey, if you like it, to each their own.

vraa lucky u, some one in your family could have been driving when the screw caused a blow out , and based on your comments about how your dad drives. fast .fast fast. Speed and blow out do not mix. Consider yourselves very lucky .

On another note ,Starting a fan club only people who love Mookie, know anyone interested?

That tire will need to be replaced, but considering it is a new car your dad might just replace that one tire, unless you convince him otherwise!
Good luck, do you want me to call him and tell him to change tires and wheels because the molecular structure was changed by that nail and the other three tires are directly affected by tire osmosys syndrome????

In a tubeless tire the screw will cause it to loose air, not to blow out, it works like a plug and if the nail or screw is small you won't even notice it, until you see that the tire is loosing air.
