Yes, I kept expecting one of them to fall, or the car dropping and seeing something awful. So PLEASE don't try this. So what is this about? A few <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-22664659" target="_new">sidewalk skiing</a> young men from Saudi remove and re-install two tires on what appears to be a Toyota FJ while driving down a road on only two wheels. That's right!! Enjoy the show.<br />
