Did you put 22s on it?

I suspect she's the latter. But it's not as costly for her to buy new vehicles as it may seem. She may have bought five or six this year, but I generally manage to get the prices down quite a bit. Basically, my job is to find, or spec them for orders, then go get them. I've probably saved her...

Ah, then you know how much fun 14,00R20s on beadlock wheels can be. I laugh at the little stuff, like Challengers wheels, but unfortunately my back and knees don't join me in that laughter.

Easy for you to say. I don't have a lift that'll accommodate 40' trailers or 16,000-lb. vehicles.Or even a hydraulic lift cart. And if I did, I wouldn't want those tires and wheel assemblies to potentially fall down from three feet.

I use a simple breaker bar, but a large screwdriver would also work to get the wheel studs to line up with the holes in the wheel. It's fairly easy to both rotate the tire a bit and lift it to the correct height that way. Of course, I also only lift the car until the tires clears the floor by...

Why keep them that long? My girlfriend normally doesn't keep any car until the warranty is expired. The current exceptions are her '19 Redeye and '21 TRX. Her Audi Q8 was replaced by an SQ8 within a year, then she had that one for two weeks before trading it in on an ordered RSQ8. No warranty...

You might be on the right track. My girlfriend started with BMWs, then went with Porsches, and now it's Audis. There's decent power in some of them.

A Challenger body swap?

But then there's the added cost of the chauffeur's license, possible taxi union dues, etc.

Meh, he was just a day late. National Tailgating Day was yesterday.

At least it has a black roof so it'll be nice and warm in there. And obviously only two doors is a big plus.

A Plaid is only one mph faster than my 'Cat, and the odds I'll ever reach those speeds are slim to none anyway.. Although, lately I've been tempted to lease a VW id.4, after being told that I shouldn't have an opinion about EVs since I don't own one. Obviously that was on a different forum...

To me, an EV is like a car with the filler neck shrunk down to 1/8". Sure, you can put more gas in it, but it'll take several hours. No thanks.

Oh, you should see the fronts of my enclosed trailers. There are some meaningful dents in the protective diamond plate.

I thought about driving mine. Realistically it'll get another dose of Star Tron to keep the gas good a little longer.

Heck, use one of each. You have an effective limited slip. Just remember which side is the show-off side.

It's always better to look good than to feel good.

There's a reason my vehicles aren't subjected to dealer service. Okay, several reasons. On mine the hood and rear spoiler needed adjustments, which I did myself. If there was anything else wrong with it I don't know, only having driven it on and off the trailer twice. Either way, I'm so happy...

In case you want another one, a local dealer has one offered at almost $18K off.

I was reluctant about the Firestones at first, but while the price is more right than many other tires', finding out that they're actually made by Bridgestone removed my doubts.
