EG... You are the bravest man I know. I have never seen anyone brave enough to put an ironing board (i mean wing) with no rubber floor things on the deck of their Vette.

About the Spinners.... Does anyone know how a spinner reacts at 170 MPH 
What happens when you hit the brakes from a 140 mph to a dead stop ?? I bet the spinner center bearing would be glowing red

Can we come up with a different name than "spinners" for those counter-rotating wheel abortions. It's confusing to us old farts who remember spinners as something very different...

I'm a young black male with a beautiful Vette and Hotrod and bikes. I love custom and performance items and like to be different but with clean a clean look. SPINNERS ARE THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO THE WHEEL
