OT: AWESOME!!!

Judging by the smoke coming out, that one is well on the way to self destructing.

On this day of this month, in a year likely to be unrecorded in human history, I quoted:

Wasn't it $0.25 ?? If so, he lied (big deal) and also had a lot more money!!!

Whatever they cost; I had good jobs that paid actual money.

Cheater slicks and slicks, ~$20-$25 in the SFValley.

No, I didn't. I owned a truck.

Now shut up some more.

I guess even then you were out of the loop, didn't know where to get things, and didn't have google to save your pathetic hide.

You're a very faulty spark-plug, poofter, you keep missing.

Now shut up, loser, and since your parents never taught you, I'll tell you: don't speak until you are spoken to.

Well, that's what you do best.

And the Omnicient Billy knew everyone from everywhere? And knew what everyone -- from everywhere -- had or was running? Or is it just that you have to believe you're correct? Because you are NOT correct.

I already did, I guess you missed it. So, you are gonna call me a liar? Wow, how I'll recover from that I'll never know.

Go ahead, nobody gives the proverbial rat's ass what slaver oozes out of your vile and festering gob, least of all me.

I doubt if anyone alive has a lower opinion of you than I have, but there are up-and-comers in the rear-view.

Now CnP and maybe say that you are correct again.

Don't matter any more than you matter, embalador del dulce de azúcar.

On this day of this month, in a year likely to be unrecorded in human history, L.W.(Bill) Hughes III repeated:

And you're still wrong.

Now shut up.

Of what? Your DD214? Your Gender-Identification Card? Your Green Card? Foodstamps? Oh, I know, your Ph.D. in Tires.....

Yep! And thanks for that link! As a word-junkie and amateur etymologist, I'll be using that a lot!

Cheaters were around, definitely. I had 'em on my '34 for quite some time, as did many others from my school, and I moved from there (Orange Co, CA) in early-mid '64.

So, Lardy, Lardy, ol' Bildo was wrong yet again. It's the closest he'll ever get to perfection!

And then there's this, note it even says the '50s:

Since completely slick tires are outlawed on most roads due to their inability to handle wet pavement, the "cheater slick" became a popular item in the hot rod world in the 1950s and 1960s; a typical slick type tire, but engraved with the absolute minimal amount of tread grooves required to satisfy legal requirements. Since then, however, tire development has progressed greatly, so that today's hot rod street cars typically use wide treaded tires which perform better than the slicks of the past; while the cheater slicks available today, both for nostalgic appearance of street cars and for competition use in classes where DOT approved street tires are required, have followed their own line of development, diverging from true slick tire construction to become a distinct tire design in themselves.

And thanks again, Henry, it's nice that most Groupoids are quite capable of thinking!

That's because you are thoroughly stupid, don't you think? (hetorical, of course you don't.)

If you had read just 2 lines further, Mr. Googlehead, you would have seen:

"[classified ad -- "Spts, Race, Hot Rods" section] Los Angeles Times; Mar

Dated early '61, as Henry said.

"This Girl Really Understands Those Customized Cars" [UPI] Ohio | Coshocton | The Coshocton Tribune | 1959-05-05 p.2 col 4. "Mine is a 1929 model A Ford with a stock chromed grille, a 1958 Thunderbird engine, three carburetors, a 1949 Ford transmission, a 1948 Ford differential, a hydraulic trunk lid, a Chevrolet steering system-and a few other things like racing slicks (oversized smooth tires) on the rear and motorcycle tires on the fronts."

Dated 1959, got that, leadhead? 1959.

So, you lose again.

Anything else new?

Can anyone translate from Billbonics? This ^^^^^ makes no sense at all.......

I had a pair of those recap cheater slicks on my sister's year old 60 Impala 2 door, 348, 3 on the tree.

Damn - right rear blew the cap off on a smoke filled burnout. Made a mess back there. She made me put the original tires back on after that.

But since I didn't have a $700 Intsamatic to take pictures with.....I can't really prove it. If they'd have grown avocados here, I could have gotten a job picking them so I coulda bought one.
