Mark, $350 don't even cover for the metal alone (lol). You should see this stuff.... not from our planet for sure. I just got it cheap and now getting rid of it. Lugs is what fellow pcar mates here recommended. We'll end up with more shiny stuff soon :/

Will grab a few shots of course

I too am beginning to wonder what Woodsman's problem is with JD. Awhile ago he attacked his car and now he calls him 'our leader' and says 'Poo Poo.' I mean, Woodsman, there is life after High School! Whatever it is, get over it!

By 'attacking his car' are you referring to when I said his car isn't 'custom' as you had called it? I've built 2 custom vehicles and as such feel we should use our words more carefully- maybe you need to look around the entire car scene so as to get a grip on what's out there-- get educated you base-car bum!

Woodsman, I did not call his car 'custom'. The post you refer to was #84 in JD's 'thinking of buying a 981' thread and I called his car "an immaculate, tastefully upgraded example." I still believe that to be the case. Your response was that "the only thing special about jd's car is the 'I can't drive mileage'. You are the one who should choose your words carefully in your attempts to denigrate other's cars, their use of their cars and their posts.

Cheers!

Brad

If I might jump in for a moment, I think we might have a misunderstanding here and the real issue is about the tone of Woodsman's comments rather than the actual content. I think Brad is wondering if Woodsman actually has a hate on for JD or if his caustic remarks are just a ribbing all in good fun. Sometimes it can be hard to tell, which is why we have emoticons.

If I say something nasty, and put that green smiley face after it, you know I'm just yanking your chain. If I don't then there is a pretty good chance that I actually mean what I just said, not that I would ever actually be nasty to someone, well, except for that DICK that gave a a hard time about putting oil in my coolant tank by mistake that time. But he really deserved it.

fake $10 chrome lug nuts came in. Will post pics as soon as I pay my $2K+ indy bill for my suspension/wheel bearing overhaul.
