My friend has a house and I pay rent and use the second bedroom. It is a sweet set-up with a two car garage and a nice house... We decided to buy a pro street Mikey Thompson tire mounted on a Weld racing wheel for cheap money off craigslist and make a coffee table out of it... I work for a glass company so we got a piece of 1/4" clear tempered glass for free... pics are kind of dim, but you get the idea!

Whaddaya think!?!!?

It is my best friend's house and I pay rent so it is the ultimate bachelor pad... girls hear the idea and made weird faces, then when they saw it in place, they thought it looked pretty decent!

I have something from a Mack truck tire back at my parents house. It's pretty sweet, but it's blown so we need to watch out for the steal that's sticking out.
