Nicolai’s penchant for destroying tires has extended to rims. During his very short driving career, he has managed to destroy (not talking flat tires here) four tires. Today’s incident was his first foray into rim damage. According to his account, he drove across a construction trench at the high school at a reasonable speed. The photographic evidence suggests that either he was going very fast or he had very little air in the tire. Regardless of whether it was due to excess speed or poor maintenance the bill to Nicolai for this lapse of judgment will be $550. On a positive note, reaction to his recent news coverage has led to a speaking engagement request in Pennsylvania which may help him offset the damage to his bank balance. Today he also gave an interview to a commercial website called Proving People Wrong and donated the $1000 fee he earned to the CCHS Soccer Team.
