Haha...well if Dan says its okay, it must be. You're a responsible guy!
Yeah I think I should too.
For my new wheels/tires...$1,750. It ain't chump change and I'd like the tires to last a few thousand miles, lol.
On that note, did you guys know BFG stopped making a lot of their tires with the white lettering? Whats up with that?
Glad you made it safe and sound! Can't have anything happening to my girlfriend!
I think if you don't smoke 'em just once on the old tires that would be irresponsible of you. lol. You need to get it out of your system before the new ones go on, I would hate for you to be temped to do with new ones.

This reminds me of something I did a long time ago.
I had an old '68 Chevy Impala as a DD that ran great, had some headers, glass packs and everything else was stock.
My grandmother passes away and I buy her '65 Chrysler Newport as my new DD.
OK, so what to do with the Impala?????
I decide to cut the body off of the frame, except for the windshield and the two front seats, buy some big ol' mud bogger tires for the rear and hit the road. It still had seat belts so it had to be legal, right?
That thing would BURN RUBBER until I let off of the gas.
All that was left of that thing was the frame, the engine, the firewall, the seats and the windshield.

Wow you're a regular beefcakesterooni aren't ya?
You Canadian guys...I tell ya....
I believe it. I wanted to maybe go a different brand this time around, but I've had great luck with BFGs so I figured I might as well go with what I know. I got the replacement certificates so if anything happens to one, I'll get it replaced for free.

Last August at the All Truck Nationals they had a burnout competition. They had a jersey barrior that you put your front bumper against and let them rip. A lot of them did it until the tires blew.

I had no idea they quit doing that, works for me though I always go white in when I get new tires.
You look just like a guy I date in H.S.

I have been looking through my pictures and I don't think I have any that you guys haven't seen already. That's why I haven't posted yet. Don't think I haven't noticed a few of you calling me out, I have just been ignoring you! HAHA!

Nothing quite so memorable: After I had fun with it, I pulled the motor and put it in a pickup truck. Side job that bought me some rent and damage deposit for a while.

Hey, a lot of guys spend a hundred thousand dollars on a sportscar so that people will point and look...turns out all they had to do was take their old car, chop the body off, and put it on big tires.
