Potential Money-Maker of the Day

Today was Tire Replacement Day for the SS Family Truckster.. 70,000 miles had done their damage on the originals, so we treated the ol' buggy to a new pair of shoes and a chiropractic alignment. Over dinner, Jackson was quizzing me about tires...do they come in different sizes? does the store carry all the sizes? can you change sizes? He had me explaining aspect ratios and sketching diagrams illustrating the difference between camber and caster. Amazingly, he was interested. It was a dad's dream.

All of a sudden he gets a bright idea and says "Do you know how much money people would pay if you could put their names in white letters on the sides of their tires?!?!" This boy will finance my retirement. I just know it.
