Had my hubcaps stolen today

Why ya busting kids looking for Aminita? Let 'em have some fun!

Used to be a pizza place in Atlanta that would put ANYTHING you wanted on your pizza, long as you brought it in (hint...it was called the Magic Mushroom, their matchbooks had a mushroom leaning back, one hand behind it's 'head', and a joint in the other...

But, COOKING the mushrooms seems to have an effect on them, and they aren't as good as if you just clean them and eat them raw...

Really??? I thought it was Toronto, Canada.

Now you know why people steal hubcaps.

Did you know that your alloy wheels also have hubcaps?

Apparently not. ;)

Yes, I know. But no one seems to collect those, and I have never lost one from hitting a curb, etc (unlike full size hubcaps). Even if I ever did loose one, the OEM ones for alloy wheels are a lot cheaper than the full size hubcaps that are put on steel wheels.

Some s*****ad stole my mom's Caddy "wheel covers" (complete with locks) right out of her carport. A different s*****ad stole my bicycle (AND my tools AND my emergency $5 bill). It's clearly irrational, but deep down in my heart I have no problem at all with capital punishment for thieves.

A few months ago I heard a commercial: "Can't afford new wheels? RENT the wheels you deserve!" The world is getting sicker every day.

Heh heh - yeah, instead you get curb rash on your expensive alloy rims, which cost even more to replace than hubcaps. :)

I am not overly picky about scratches on my alloy wheels. It does help if one gets alloys with a matte finish, instead of a highly polished finish.

I don't know about thieves, but I do favor the death penalty for selling polycarb on high power lenses.

How about Simonize on a new car? Or worse, Simonize on an OLD car?!

Nah...file the scrape down, sand it and then get some tripoli and some finish rouge. In about 3 hours you have a nice, polished rim again.

People are dying in bush's glorious Oil War and this loony is worried about his hubcaps.

Hey. When I want MY car to look Fast and Furious (tm), Bush is the last thing on my mind. Hell, this is America!

Well, OK, but the stuff is good for safety glasses and cheesy sunglasses, especially if it's polarized.

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.
