And _I_ get in trouble for having two extra sets of wheels and tires! I even 
USE all of mine!!  Three sets total: winter on stock 'aero' wheels. 16 spoke 
Ronals, powder-coated white, with yoko A520's for summer...and my old winters 
on steel wheels for rallying...mind you, not a single steel wheel is straight 
or true anymore!

Dad also says I need to sell/get rid of/hide:

92 Jetta/Golf Hood
92 Golf Tailgate...complete
89 90q carpet, insulation, floormats and various other interior/trunk trim.
Various car stereo equipment (mostly all junk I suppose)
My tools
My lubes and sprays

Of course...I'm relatively new to the car ownership scene (1.5 years)...so it 
is just adding to the ridiculous supply of Mountain bike, snowboarding and 
computer stuff I have 'neatly placed' everywhere!

Hmmm...maybe if I show some of the list emails, he'll give me a break?
