Re: rant thread
it impossible to get rid of big tires on 15 in rims..it's a pain in the ass to hear stupid comments about paint when people dont know how much time and work it is to lift, mtorow swap/ axle swap and then tune everything into itself so you have a mean well running machine..
who cares about paint that's my LAST issue stupid prius driving starbucks chugging hippies

Re: rant thread
Get some cheap 16" or 17" steel rims then you can have all the cheap used SUV tires you want.

Re: rant thread
My Rant is about Busting school children.
I'm here tonight to speak out against busting schoolchildren. Busting schoolchildren is a terrible, terrible thing. I hear this is going on all over the country. Mean policemen arrest little children and put them in jail in the wrong neighborhood, so they can't even play with their little friends. Imagine, busting schoolchildren! The food in jail isn't good, and even though they get bread, I don't believe they can get toast. Or nice cake. Now, who will tuck them in? Where will they hang their leggings? Where will they set up their little lemonade stands? Well, they don't have toys in jail. They will be upset. Don;'t you know if you upset the children they won't drink their milk? |

Re: rant thread
Guy came over this week to fix my A.C.
I grabbed my dog and threw her in the back of my truck saying "that dog WILL bite you!" Oh, no she wouldn't bite me. "YES SHE WILL, leave her alone cause she WILL BITE YOU!" Well, sure enough... Good doggy, you wouldn't bite me now, would you. Let me pet you. CHOMP! Dumb-ass  Now I gotta get her shots.

A couple of years back I was "babysitting" my son & DIL's mutts. I had friend come over & 1 of them "snapped" at her. So, I put the dogs in the spare bedroom. Well, my friend had to go out to her car & 1 of the dogs came out of the bedroom (I didn't close the door because the critters were very good at the "stay" command). My friend got chomped on the back of her calf by the more aggressive of the 2. I was lucky; I only paid her $1K for medical co-payments, time off work, and new pants.
