Blogger Poll - Wheels and Tires UPDATED
Okay, so this is probably not something that everyone here (short of Mike) would really take notice of, but take a good look if you don't mind. No, this is not an important issue really...but I would like some opinions on it if I can. The one on the left is the set of wheels and tires we put on it when we built it. The one on the right is a set that was given to me as a gift last year. They're almost exactly like the original equipment wheels and tires would have been when it rolled off the showroom floor in 1972. Before I taint your opinions, take a good look and let me know what you think. Yes, this is how I'm spending time on Spring Break...swapping out wheels and tires and doing test runs on both of them, and burning lots of rubber around the neighborhood. Anyway, I get different comments based on which wheels and tires are on it when it's out so I'm still not sure. What are your thoughts?
Update - Since no one can see the wheels in the bottom picture, this is them...
And these are Mike's pick...

And, "Oooo, pretty color" is a perfectly acceptable response to a car like that from a girl. Mine's purple, so I've come to expect it.
However, the ABSOLUTELY utmost unacceptable response to a car like this, is to be a guy, and to further ignore it. If my car is parked at the curb, and a group of guys walk by and don't even glance at it...dorks, or gay. But again, my car is purple, and so even gay guys like it. That pretty much means that if you don't like my car, you are, by default, a dork. I'm pretty sure I could work out an inductive formula for that...

Quick Jen, go watch Bring it On or something equally stupid. We. Must. Win. You. Back!
Mike - all people who walk by muscle cars and don't take a look are most definitly gay or tools. You do have a cool car, all it needs now is an engine. Perhaps you should give it to me as a going away gift if you get your new job.
Hot Wife - Your comments about mine and Mikes cars are completely acceptable. Your training is almost complete.
Hooters - You're not allowed to post here if you're not going to answer the question. Saying that both wheels look like round shiney things is not an acceptable answer either. There will be no such movies as Bring it On played in this house. There will be no winning her back. I've even got her talking about restoring a 67 Mustang for her to drive to shows.
And it sounds like Jen needs a weekend in Nashville STAT for fun girl time. And Heath Ledger movies.
And the only way to drive a 67 mustang is with a scarf covering her head, Jackie O sunglasses, and my kickass Oldies cd playing. Put in on a Ipod... whatever. Anywho, I guarentee that I can make any situation, less macho, and more girlie. And girlie is fun. And you know it. Otherwise you would have married Mike.

Now if you had said Bottle of Cabarnet, I would have hauled ass!
And Im not a crier.
And a neighbor tried to tell me the color was called Statutory Grape.

Mike and Hooters - the color is Plum Crazy, and it's Cabernet. Somehow I doubt you'll make my wife driving a 67 Mustang GT girlie...you'll think girlie until she does the burnout that I've been trying to teach her how to do.
It's disturbing that I laughed at the Statutory Grape comment.
Being a grown-up sucks. But come see me. We'll make Greg watch Ella and we'll just hang out. I miss that.
