Godzilla

Thursday night my father-in-law came over in my sister-in-law's SUV to the house to watch Abby while Cristina and I went to a Bedford City Planning and Zoning Commission meeting regarding the hospital to be built across the street. When he got to our house he realized the driver rear tire was leaking air big time.

So I drove him home later that night and early Friday morning Abby and I went to the Discount Tire on Harwood Road in Bedford, TX to get a tire fixed. As soon as I pulled into the parking space I realized what was sitting only 15 feet away...

Nissan GTR

A Nissan GT-R !! Yes, "Godzilla" itself!! The thing was REALLY NEW in that there wasn't a speck of dust or dirt on it... even the gold Brembo brake calipers were clean enough to eat off of. I snapped the pic from my 4-year old cell phone with the crap-tastic camera. We watched a bit later as a 25 YEAR OLD KID drove off in it with an older fellow (Dad?) riding shotgun. The world seemed a bit less fair at that moment.

I've heard of soft tires for grip, but it needed tires so soon?

If you believe Porsche the Nissan guys never use "stock" tires...
