After a few weeks of medical scaryness that could have resulted in us losing her, Mom is back in the hospital and getting better!

Looks like baby Rolls!

Tramador.

Forgot, also saw some sort of late model, mid-engine Ferrari too!

Does this mean we'll be seeing you at the store sometime soon Harry?

Yesterday, a bright red T-Bucket and a Caddy XLR. Today, a very.......friendly (the sheetmetal waved to everyone)......mid 60's Impala convertible.

How old is the car that it is considered a wear item? I had replaced a few of those plastic gear strips in my Lebaron (over 10 y/o and 100k miles) one power window assembley in my Shadow (over 10 y/o and 100k on both old and possibly new parts), as well as a regulator assembly on my Jeep (also over 14 y/o and around 150k+ miles), so if that card isn't that old, how can that be acceptable?!

I have a customer at work that asks about this kit (already have one on order for him too!), so I will let him know next time I see him. Should I guestimate mid-summer to mid-fall as to when we might get his?

German build quality.

Believe it or not, they still show that ad, right down to the 50's Caddys rotting in the mud!

Are Dad and I seeing things, or does that look like a Chrysler Airflow? And this would be why........ http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AA

Here you go Charlie, they seem to ride better than the GY's it came with, but I also went from 225/50TR18 to 235/50ZR18, which has a bit more sidewall. The improvement in accelleration and cornering though is astounding! http://m.tirerack.com/tires/TireDetailsServlet?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+COMP-2+A%2FS&partnum=255WR7GFC2AS&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

For a minute there, I thought that was the car from the Victory Auto Wreckers ad! But that car is still far too solid to be it So, who else around here grew up watching this ad?

It's still on the air, just never have the chance to watch it.

That has not been a problem for me, knock on wood!

Thing I've seen, especially at a hobby shop, but even places like the toy and grocery stores I've worked at, is that people like the guy in the comic would prefer dealing with a man over a woman, even seen other women doing it to female management or staff.

Dang, another one?!

I'm wondering how long it will be before I have to do that with my Jeep, that are more of a road going instead of more hard core off road tires.

The guy who wants to talk to the MANager, just aggravates the living daylights out of me when I see or hear of that, especially to people I know.

Didn't happen today, but I've seen this happen way too many times in just this century and it just flat pizzez me off! http://safr.kingfeatures.com/idn/cnfeed/zone/js/content.php?file=aHR0cDovL3NhZnIua2luZ2ZlYXR1cmVzLmNvbS9SZXRhaWwvMjAxNS8wNC9SZXRhaWwuMjAxNTA0MTRfOTAwLmdpZg==

Yeah, that's not so bad! IIRC, the BFG's I bought were their brand new to the market, ultra high performance all season tires and only paid $138ea. (Tire Rack wanted $153ea!) then got the next size wider with the same series sidewall (so it's taller and wider), plus road hazard and a much needed alignment. I don't envy my sister one bit on her '14 Challenger though, bring a "Super Track Pack" car, it's got hi-perf summer tires in 245/45ZR20, the 235/50ZR18s I just bought and the 235/75R15s on my Jeep are way cheaper! One funny thing though, when I had my Jeep reshoed at 144k, I that alignment had been the factory one and it held fine and had remained within spec....and independant suspension is supposed to be better?!

Well, here's my 200 with the new BFG rubber, whaddya think?!

Give him a some time Harry, they's still working on the Model 3, which should be a 3 Series fighter and I think it's supposed to be in the mid $30k price range.

How much did that run you, I dropped about $800 for both on my 200 yesterday, although I can't complain, considering how much better the new BFG's are vs the factory installed GY LS2's, it's appearing to be worth every penny already!

Reminds me of when my Jeep blew a ATF line to the radiator, to steal a line from Mike Finnigan, it looked like a double homicide!
