personally, i think it looks better now. then after he gets rid of the pt cruiser lakes pipes, he'll have something. just for the record, i'm dead serious.
For the safety of the car, I suggest we plan an intervention. I thought all of those wheels had been recycled into beer cans by now.
I cant believe this is still going! So ,for the record I think for the look he started he needs to ditch the lakes,get some craigers,grey primer and the ass end up another foot..oh and running 70`s up front with 60`s in the back and an 8-track blasting Foghat..go to the store for some Boones Farm wine and your set!But then the more I thought about it ,if it WAS mine I`d go all heavy flake w/ Astros,but then some guy who is "lost in the 50`s "would think I ruined it ....as long as he loves it and DRIVES it hes cool w/ me
i am going to have to go in with caddyman on this one, first off there is a wealth of knowlege on the hamb second off most of the folks here are true hotrodders buttttt.... this place has more people that whine and bitch about stuff that does not affect them then a quilt shop full of old women who just judge and gossip all day my 2 cents
I like my 76 mullet modile.. hauls ass "400hp 355", gets ok gas mileage "700r4 with lockup converter and tall gears" and hauls parts...
Champ 500s what a wretched ugly wheel that was. Didn't look good then, doesn't look good now, on anything. FWIW, we do need to have discrimination, otherwise everything would be allowed. We're a narrow minded bunch and I'm very happy that we are.
Nads is right. The HAMB is about opinions too. I can't count how many times I've seen a really nice care get fucked up with the wrong wheel/tire combo. You can say what you want about "to each his own" but something like this is just plain wrong. Especially when it looked so good to begin with. It really does show you just how much different tires and wheels can impact the look of a car... Do they even make those ugly-ass wheels anymore?
I was so excited to see this hot little number. I feel as those wheels could put me in a trans when they go round and round! O I think it is supper when a man can tool around with his hot elky ass up in the air. there is so much to be said about the gorgeous line in a elky. O my I think my lake pipe are hanging out just thinking of the meat on those rims! RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRooooom! No I guess it is to each there own like some of you guys said. I still love elkys and maybe the guy doesnt know how to drive something like that on its nuts. maybe he is practiceing then he will lower it again. Or maybe he is going to, all who knows. I think it looked better dragging the ground! Josh
WHO GIVES A FUCK!!! The guy bought the car. It is his to do as he wants. He DID NOT post pics on this board and ask for ANYONES opinion. So shut the fuck up and speak when spoken to!!! I don't like 90 perent of the cars on the road, but I don't rant about them on the HAMB. If some one asks your opinion, give it. If no one asks, keep it to yourself. I am sure there are thousands of people who don't like your car. Who gives a fuck!!!!
That is that great thiang about the Hamb!!! Kusbypook you have the rite attitude! That is what I want my car to say and you are just so rite! Josh
I think it's completely ridiculous NOT to say anything just because the car doesn't belong to you. Holding it in makes your crap go solid as a rock. We have to be critical, it's important, it's what keeps us from being all over the map when it comes to a certain look. It's an essence, it's hard to quantify and I can tell you that that El Camino had IT, now it doesn't. Thank God it's all reversible but I think it's a shame what he did to that truck and I'm not gonna shut my mouth because it might hurt his feelings. I ask for opinions about what I do and I take everything seriously, it's important to know that your peers appreciate your work or hate it.
I was in Palm springs last weekend. I didn't crap the whole time I was there... I don't use another man's women, his weed, or his toilet seat. It's just not the way my personal savior intended it. Well anyways, by the time I got home, there was absolutely no movement in my bowel. I was plugged up good. I didn't want to push too hard cause I didn't want no chakras... I got some coffee and a bran muffin. That got me moving again. In fact I was downright unstoppable for a couple of days after that.
I'm eating a muffin right now - my fourth one today. After watching the Paris Hilton episode on South Park last night I have a fear..... Mutt
