Good source for chrome lug nuts?

[woodsman]

Thanks Southernstar for correcting my assumption that ' one of a kind' is the same as 'custom'. It is not and may I say jd's car is a perfect example of this! I was merely trying to rein in your high- schoolish enthusium about jd's car. I have noticed this is a pattern for you whenever you address jd. ( may I point out that jd's picture is decades old!

Well, now we have no misunderstanding about Woodsman's tone. Lets face it, there is at least one on every site. And speaking of high school, at least now we understand his comment about JD being 'our leader' - he is jealous about JD's' popularity on this site and the fact that some, like myself, like his car. Sorry woodsman that others don't laugh at your jokes or compliment your car in the same way.

If it soothes your fragile ego, you should at least understand that this was in the context of JD inquiring about whether he should sell his current car and purchase a new 981. In that context I had the temerity to suggest that as he had put together a 2000S that uniquely suited his own taste, he should keep it.

Is there another pristine 2000 S with an upgraded dual-row IMS bearing in speed yellow with comparable mileage, the same perfectly installed and faired aero-kit, identical rims, exhaust etc.? Perhaps. In fact, I have seen others on this site who are now doing 'similar' mods to their own cars. Whether or not you share my opinion is hardly the point - at least my post in that thread was relevant to the question at hand. Your dismissal of his current vehicle was just that - a negative comment that in no way answered the question at hand, even if it made you feel better.

On the subject of this thread, for practical reasons many would prefer to keep their original lug nuts, although they would prefer not to have to keep repainting them to cover the inevitable rust. Lets face it, shiney lug nuts - whether stainless, polished aluminum, or merely covers over the originals, are purely cosmetic. Indeed, although prone to rust, the original steel lug nuts are stronger than aluminum or stainless (although nine8six's titanium ones would be stronger still).

In that context, what is wrong with shiny covers that leave the original lugs nuts and eliminate the need for painting, even if they are made in China? I am glad that you have aluminum ones that came with your GT3 RS wheel spacers (pictures???), but have you thought about the risk of corrosion when dissimilar metals come into contact in conjunction with water and air?

Anyway, I am confident that anyone who has read your posts in this thread and the one where he inquired about purchasing a new 981 can see your true colours (Canadian spelling). Your choice of words makes it clear that your primary purpose was in attacking JD and his vehicle rather than in engaging in a rational discussion about the question at hand.

Let me set the record straight. Woodsman could never insult me or my vehicle. And, the part about the photo of the Dangermobile being a decade old is just nuts. In fact, the oldest photo that I've posted here - is from about 2009, and rest are from the last two summers. As far as being anyone's leader on the forum is concerned, while I find Woodsman's new found tittle for me to be a great honor, as Southernstar and others have pointed out, I simple try to contribute a mix of serious and humorous interplay here on the forum. And, for the most part, I'd like to think others enjoy it. However, if my zaniness or penchant for prurient has ever offended anyone, I offer them my sincere apology. For someone to simply dislike me for no apparent reason - that is unfortunate. But, on the other hand they can kindly kiss my a**. Happy holidays !

I was talking about the avatar photo.
Southernstar: you're right!
Perfectlap: sorry for the unpleasantness I've caused in your thread.

Woodsman, now I know you are joking - I am never right!
