However none of this would have been possible without ur father's money to start you off not that there is anything wrong with that but i don't think that u giving all the credit to yourself is right. Without my parents money i am sure i'd be driving some old beat up Kia or something. I am still in college so i cant compare cause u do have the degree. Honestly though do u think u would be in training to be the GM of ur fathers company at such a young age if u weren't his son? Do you think that he would honestly give that kind of job to another 22 yo no matter how qualified they look an paper. Cause as i am sure u are aware in the business world experience means just as much if not more than formal education.

Good one, Lug.

I am LAUGHING MY *** OFF right now. His majesty is grandER than I thought. Finally I have an idea while my foot stinks so unusually. (Lug, sorry to borrow your writing style. Hehe.)

Had a chat with a tire store guy today. Uniroyal came up. I thought they were made by Michelin. He says, don't buy those cheap *** tires. They come back all the time. Hit a bump, and they blow a bubble.... . Guess who really does make Uniroyal. Hint, it begins with C.

Here's a Website that Michelin offers it's dealers to build Web pages to sell Michelin products. Notice they sell BFG and Uniroyal tires in addition to Michelin. The parent company is actually called MAST, I think for Michelin America Small Tires, but I'm not sure.

You know Lug, I would have sworn that was true. I thought sure it was Michlin, BF Goodrich, and Uniroyal. Then I saw this:

http://www.conti-online.com/generato...brands_en.html

I do not know how to relabel that link.

For those who do not want to click on over, I cannot copy and paste because of the graphics, but it says:

Brands from the Continental corporation...

Continental
General Tire
Uniroyal
And goes on to list several more.
