HyperboreanWanderer and Boy were playing with The Car. The Car (yes, it needs capital letters) just got new "shoes" and they were putting on the finishing touches (center caps). And here is HW himself, to tell you the fancy car numbers and stuff....

American Racing Wheels Torqthrust II mags, 15x8 in front, 15x10 deep-dish inset in back, with BF Goodrich 235/60s up front and 275/60s in back. They're the same size as I had before, but the new wheels make her look brand new...

many thanks to my super-cool hot wife for putting up with the other lady in my life, the GTO.

So I have to say that I was a bit clueless as to how expensive this was going to be, but the look on his face was worth it. I was really impressed when we walked and and without batting his eye, he rattled off all the details without taking a breath. He has wanted this for a long time and I'm glad he finally has it.....

Of course he is already asking for a new rear suspension and disk brakes.....
