I'm guessing that you don't get too many kids down the highway that think they can beat you. That think looks wicked fast. Of course the license plate helps that a little.

I think most of the people on this site have had some kind of class in photography. Very nice photos.

Now, stupid question on those rims. Will they hold up to hitting a bump ?? They look awesome but I wonder how careful you will have to drive or does that not come into play at all ?

That's tight dawg. With lips like those, you could put some spinners on those blinging rims!



In all seriousness, they look great man, and those fender flares and wide tires give it a mean stance.
