Love the illustrations. Coming back from a visit to the country last year, my bf was driving my car when a tire blew out with a loud bang. He pulled into a side road and changed the tire.
I watched this miracle in absolute wonder. Never in my life had I even known anyone who could change a tire. Awesome!!!!!
