    Definitely keep it low budget because when someone e-mails a link to this thread to your boss you will be looking for a new job.

    You may need the money for hot dogs and kraft dinner :D

    I agree on the wheel change. Those are almost as wrong as the wheels on my 51. Nice thing is that you can sell them and pump the money back into the car!

    I called in every morning and said i didn't feel well. But i think my boss knew what was up, cause he never said a word when I came back to work. I don't know anything about unemployment

    You're crazy for pulling a stunt like that in this economy, etc.

    Car looks better, ditch those wheels and tires.

    our boss called out a guy we used to work with once on a mini trucker fourm, he was on there talking smack about his job and blah blah blah. But the end result was so freaking funny watching him pacing around thinking he was going to get fired.


    good looking ride man

    Don't chop it. The right wheels and tires, and you're G2G.
