I can not take credit for this one either, Bob's new career

Today marks the end of an era. Michelin Mann Tyre has passed away from puncture wounds suffered from an obvious road hazard leaving behind the tracks of a true member of society. Born in a factory at the start of the 20th century, he led a life of fully inflated luxury until his bias highlighted the need for a radial change as he entered the 60's decade. He became an all round guy. His empire became an even balance of black and white. He was true to the core and didn't whitewall everything. He stuck to his objectives without sliding away from his ultimate support of the many vehicles in society.

In his later years he developed a great weight loss program "Burning Blubber", which was tantamount in eliminating worm gear disease. It opened the door for a new wave of sound know to us as Rackin' Pinion. He never had time to spare but still gave unselfishly to make sure all his members maintained a perfect balance.

His first wife, Carla Spoke, was his full support until she ran around on him and they separated. A close friend, Lusweil, introduced him to his second wife Steele Rim in the late 30s. She was at his sidewall when he let out his last bit of air.

They have one son, Tubles Tyre.
