Default Well I Bought Some Wheels

I was allowed to buy some wheels. I saw the post from HOUSE OF WHEELS on the ZO6 they are selling and she said "go ahead."

I have found the tires and was pleased to learn that it won't cost me an arm an a leg. I originally wanted black, but BOB told me that chrome is the way to go on my Black Coupe and so I gave him the card and bam they are on there way.

I can't wait to see these babies on my baby. Of course, it won't be until I return in December, transfer held up. But, hey one thing less to do on my list!

Christmas comes early for me!

I love me wife!

Micah

Money problems are the leading cause of divorce in AMerica, it's good you and your wife discuss money. Don't let the hairychested knuckle-dragging cavemen make you think any different. If it works for you.that is all that matters. Post the pics then...........

now can your wife ask my wife if I can get some wheels?

Yeah, poor choice of words, but I get $1200/mpnth, but I have to make my own car payment, so that leaves me with a few pennies...

I can't wait to get these bad boys on, I know it will set teh car completely off.
