How does a stone wheel blow out?

Any bystanders hit? When’s the tow rock coming? Got your insurance card? Know where I can get a loaner?

This one really cracked me up!

Pity you can’t carry a spare, or even the emergency kit, a chisel and a stone hammer….

Kinda like today, when tractor trailers have blowouts and leave huge dangerous chunks of tires all over the interstate but we’re not supposed to complain because _”They bring “us” goods and they pay thousands of dollars a year in Federal and State taxes.”

(The cost of which they promptly pass along to consumers) ;)

[DUCKS]

You can only get away with this in a comic.

Should be covered by the road hazard warranty.

Thus heralding the end of the era of the glass tire. (lasted all of 15 minutes.)

Firestone 500…. ( In 1978 my father was the NHTSA investigator.)

Quick, call AAA!

Looks more like he stripped a retread.
