Default Shave and a Haircut!

Had to take the truck to get the oil changed today because I am a lazy slob. But, they washed the truck for me. I just had to share - it won't look this good again for a while, if ever .....

Mike, still crunching numbers on the traction issue. Execution will depend on how business looks next quarter as this one just took a nose-dive....

And gas prices are going up....

But hey, a shiny Rover! And, the driving lights work now using the fog lamp circuit after some genius here told me to have the ECU programmed - I didn't even have to buy a relay! LIFE IS GOOD!

And you are right, the Jiffy Lube doesn't wash your car. I take it to....THE DEALER! I know I'm an idiot, but they are one block over from my house - I can take it over there and walk home in less than five minutes. And I figure I'm supporting the car industry, right? Cause they sure as hell aren't rolling new ones out of the showroom right now.....

yep, those are 16 inch wheels. I've seen them for sale but can't recall the name. I'd like to find a nice set of steel wheels but hard to find decent looking ones without the fake bead lock bs on them.

Awesome, I really like that style. I want to upgrade to 16" wheels one day, but the thought of going to those star looking ones always bugged me. The ones you have look very similar to the 18" wheels have. I'll have to go do some research to find out what they're called when it comes time to upgrade.

Nite - it's just a 2" RTE spring lift, but the tires added another inch and a half. If you go to the album section you can see what it looked like when I got it - even had the oem Michellins on it.

Cam - I'll try to find the name of the wheels and send it to you.
