Those wheels remind of the Mustang:

The picture is a bit hard to see, but this poor guy was in a bad collision. The whole rear end was ripped out from under him. I felt bad not only for the truck, but the owner and his assumed wife/girlfriend. She looked terrified! My condolences

I completely agree with you, and that goes for old cars also

While I'm 100% in agreement with you fellas on this, you still have to appreciate the engineering and work that was involved in the building of a rig like this.

Whether we like it or not, there is a huge following to low riders, big wheels and low profile tires. There always has been and probably always will be.

absolutely. I'm a firm believer in to each his own. how boring a world it would be if we all had the same taste.


I still have 14" torque thrusts on my mustang and some people just can't understand why I don't have 17's on it.

If I was building a 2wd, I'd use a Crown Vic front end with those big rim rubber band tires . I kinda like the look.

However I like the mud more than street but do appreciate the time and energy that does go into making anything old, new again.

Been having a scary fire season here in northern California. This is the Butte fire, only a few miles from my Mom's house. She shared this picture she found online of the firefighting efforts there. Fire is finally under control and 65% contained.

Quite a dramatic dent picture:

That is one crazy photo. My heart goes out to those fire fighters and anyone who was in that fires path of destruction.
