Some brand new shoes...

Stolen from Ludacris' Act a Fool - "...Just bought me and my cars all some brand new shoes...". Who'd a thought that Chris Bridges would be a life coach?

But the truth is that we need to take care of ourselves and our tools of the trade. My car is like my horse. I love it and do try to take good care of it. That said, I hadn't purchased new tires since I bought it almost four years ago. My front tires were bald. My rear tires weren't much better. I'd break traction in first almost every damn time...

So I finally got a matched set of Hankook tires. What a difference a day makes. No more getting shitty on corners, I suddenly have grip again. Triple Digits? No problem. If it could, I think my car would have high-fived me. It's good to have it back, a menace to society and a little bit dangerous. It was like letting a Panther out of the cage and being allowed to run free...

My point isn't to suggest you be a good consumer and buy shit just to spend money. It's that you need to take care of yourself, and your things. That basic maintenance can make all the difference in the world. It will put spring back in your step and keep your game. Take care of your horse, and your horse will take care of you...

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy and Get your Gun on...
