Big Wheel Jag...

Post by mdmead »

This isn't my style... but every once in awhile I see something that makes me say "Cool!"

This is actually one of them.

My Ma Ma always told me that if you have nothing nice to say ... then say nothing at all !!!

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.


DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

I'm no fan of the big rims that many seem to like, but actually for this style of car those choice of rims don't look too bad on there and do give the car a bit of a cool look, nice find Matt.

This showed up at a local car show yesterday. I didn't see it, but it was posted up on a local forum I frequent.

I hear ya Skippy. There are many tiimes I hold my tongue when it comes to the vehicle styles of others. (Not so much on ASV, but on the local forum mentioned above.) But like I said, this one I thought was cool because it was different from the usual Donk/Box/Bubble.

Not one to hold your tongue, eh, Dune. I'm not a fan of the big wheels either. But just because it's not my style I don't criticize. Everyone likes to hear something nice said about their car. \:D/

I understand Smiley, but seeing this is a third party pic no real harm....you're correct however. I would never voice my opinion to the owner.....unless asked and then I'd probably take Skips approach.

and I have a whole list of things I really don't like but put up with,but that's life......

That car is awesome looking! Shame about the wheels. I don't mind big wheels with low profile tires. Just as long as they are not bigger than the stock ones your replacing. A lifted Jag just isn't right.
Current:
01 AWD - Stock
98 AWD - Stock
Past:
93 4WD - 305 V8 - 5" lift - 31" tires
98 4WD DHC - 10" lift - 33" tires - Onboard air and Hydraulics - Snowplow
92 RWD - 350 V8 - lowered - 97 front clip
92 RWD - 350 V8 - converted to AWD - V6
91 AWD - 350 V8 - conversion van
94 RWD - 350 V8 - sons van
92 RWD - stock - sons van
93 RWD Shorty - project
89 RWD Shorty - parts van
