Had my hubcaps stolen today

If you choose the right tires, they come with a rim protecting lip of rubber.

Why haven't you switched over to a 8' smart car, micro-weenie?

Better yet, he should join all the other cowardly surrender monkeys in France.

Boy, you idiots can think up any way possible to hijack a thread and turn it into a dumb-ass slam, can't you?

How 'bout next time, if you haven't got anything to say, not saying anything? Moron...

Paris residents get rise in terror alert

PARIS, July 21 (UPI) -- The AP and UPI reported that the French Government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to Hide.

The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate.

The rise was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.

Almost all alloy wheels have this today. In addition, there are shops that repair expensive rims for fairly cheap rates.

Look at the bright side: here's your chance to buy a set of spinners!

I can't wait until we have cars like the ones in "I, Robot." Not only will they eliminate the loss of throughput caused by incompetent Sloth drivers, but they have spherical wheels so they don't need hubcaps!

wow I'm being prolific today --

I actually picked up some 1991 Honda Accord hubcaps from Ebay (I don't like the 1992 hub caps even though I drive a 1992 Accord)... They came packaged with Honda decals I had to apply.

I've gotten quite a few compliments on them. Its amazing really what a good set of hubcaps does for a car's appearance.

Oh yeah I picked up the four hubcaps for around $50, which included shipping.

And, I agree with Ray -- particularly with a Mitsubishi!

Personally I hate Mitsubishi's, and with good reason. Ex-gf had a 1986 Dodge Colt (mitsubishi) with a 5 speed -- she had to replace the tranny at around 90k. Then another friend had a 1994 Hyundai Elantra (mitsubishi tranny), with one kick ass little 1.8l dohc engine -- but right at 60k (out of warranty) he had to replace the tranny (somehow it got stuck in L1), and then his replacement tranny wouldn't go into overdrive.

THEN, yet another ex-gf's dad had a 1993 Hyundai Sonata (mitsubishi tranny) and his tranny went at around 90k.

I love it...mid-80's Dodge Colt with a sticker that had a Rising Sun with a cirlce and a line through it...said "remember Pearl Harbor, boycott Japanese products" !!!

Dimwit...

jesus. That attitude, plus those multimillion dollar donations to the Democrats, is what helped kill Unions in the USA.

yep -- left becomes the right

Huh? They're still alive, they just moved into government where "management" can just raise taxes to meet their demands.

Go, Ahnold, knock 'em dead.

That's judy's specialty.

Who's Judy? I'm assuming it's not the same Judy that used to let me play with her... when we were 11...

Probablly not the same person. The "judy," I am referring to has been known by an untold number of different nyms, including "Laura Bush murdered her boyfriend," (as you have already met) "Laura Bush - Vehicular Homicide," "aunt millie," and "Pride of America," among others. The consensus is that one of her first nyms was "Judy Dairya," hence the reference to him/her (no one is really sure which judy is) as simply "judy." Common belief is that judy resides somewhere near Littleton, CO, but I'm not sure of the basis for that conclusion.

In short, judy is a two bit troll who likes to make inflamatory posts and inflamatory replies to other's posts inorder to *try* to make people angry and to bait them into flame wars. Hypocrisy is one of judy's trademarks. See the link in the .sig for some quotes of judy's. To what gratification it gets, I really don't want to know. Most of the rest of us either ignore judy or like to press its buttons and make the kook dance for us.

HTH.

My alloy wheels have this funny plastic coating or something on the face (They don't have it on the rim). I fixed some kerb rash by sanding the rim, but when I tried to lightly sand the face, it just made big white scratches in that plastic shit, which I hadn't noticed until then. What would the purpose of that shit be? Also, in some places it has big white growths UNDER it, it looks kind of like a fractal pattern.

The coating is a clear coat that is supposed to slow down corrosion and oxidation.
