Car parts in the house

Back in college, my second room mate had a friend that worked for Goodyear... His friend loaned us a defective drag racing slick mounted on a rim for the year... He ordered a piece of glass to be cut and laid the slick on it's side and put it on the tire and we used it for a coffee table next to the sofa in our room....

He was a Chevy guy with a first generation Camaro and used one of the hub caps from the Chevy for an ash tray on that table... Funny enough, the hub cap cleaned right up at the end of the year - no permanent burn marks....

I don't have any pictures of it....
