Mark,

If you hear a knock on the door and a couple of guys have a jacket that
ties
in the back for you to try on, don't fight it. Just go with the flow.

The downside is that it's tough to type with this jacket on, the good
news
is that your wallet is safe! :)

Lee

Indeededly...  tho this coming from a man who's email handle is
'wheelman'???  Paging Dr. Rosenrosen 8-)...

Me I saved mounting the Ur4kq Hakk 1's last week instead opting for the
agricultural militaristic Armstrong Norseman 185/75/14s.  Was initially
thinking I'd run the Hakk's again and turn these newfound wheels / tires
(from donor 0kq) into superstuds for ice events but they're just tooooo
darn fun I think to do that.  

And farfar too absurdly WRC looking...  esp. mit turd brown steel OE
Dasher looking wheels.  

As if I didn't look homeless enough in the thing as it is.  And I kinda
almost felt bad for all the poor jerks I was passing cutting 65mph
virgin track through the 12" deep fast lane.  Kinda.  Almost.

Muwahaha, pardon.

Uh oh...  damn.  Just sparked another season of Quattro Haiku:

F150 tires
axles flail four wheel drift yes
commutes are blissful

-Paul 3 cars 7 sets of wheels K.


ps.  Rossato changes wheels like underwear...  wait...  what is that
really saying???
