Clean cars!!







It doesn't happen very often, so I felt compelled to share.

That is all!

Is it the wheels that you don't like? Or is it the whitewall tires that you don't like. I could understand the tires, as I've known some people to associate whitewalls with pimps or what I've heard referred to as "ghetto cruisers" -but that is from old folks, like my boss and my dad...

...the wheels now, those are polished aluminum alloy seven spoke 17" wheels, factory Cadillac, and if you don't think they look nice, boy you really are square!

Also as a side note, white walls were designed first for limo's, because it was though the tall sidewall of a black tire was to 'ugly' to be fitting to a nice looking car, so the whitewall stripe was born! I love 'em for the Caddy, I've even seen trucks that sport them well.

Oh well to each his own.

hey, I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place on that...

What I'm saying is: I'm making the best of a small situation, and I should come out smelling like a rose in about 3 yrs.

That's the plan anyway. Thought about putting another garage up, but my property is real small (1/3 acre)... It will probably sell better as is.
