At the end of my street this morning...

Before the SUVs remember when it would be
$5000 worth of wheels & tires on a $600 car?
Usually a full size GM sedan for some reason.
Less common on Crown Vic or Merc. May simply
depend on which car they inherited from granny.

LOL
mother-in-law had one of those giant mid-80s 4dr Caprice sedans. Every time she’d go somewhere there was always some guy approaching her wanting to buy it.

It would only cost him $1,000 to get hooked up to a tuner and enter in the new rolling diameter to get a speedometer adjusted but as far as the gas mileage he's screwed.

A lot of SS Impalas were butchered with those fat Wheels.

So I can only assume that this guy's is on the up and up. Surely he ain't doing anything illegal in this high profile clown car. Seriously, it said "32's" in the rear window. THIRTY TWO inch wheels. So his turning radius has to be half the Walmart parking lot. His MPG passing gear and speedo have to be ****ed all the way up.
But as long as he thinks it's cool...

du weed bidna bees goot.

When I saw this steaming pile and thought of all the money that went into looking like a complete gem of ghetto fabulous nignorance I thought " Damn, how many Hi Points could I have bought with that wasted money?" Well pretty much all of them.

Instead of a SUV he has a POS!

That car is not my 'thing', but..... I do have a lifted Jeep and a Toyota 4Runner, both with 31" tires on them.

To be honest, what's so different? If he had lifted it and put mud grips on it, would it be OK then? And yes, I'm still running factory brakes, hubs, axles, etc. (on the Jeep anyway).

I don't particularly care for it, but I would take it over a squatted truck any day of the week, and darn sure would rather be behind this than some diesel belching smoke at idle while the supercharger whistles louder than a freight train.

I would take a 69 through 71 Chevy short bed dropped on the pavement with an Art Morrison chassis and a supercharger any day of the week. To each his own brother. The only difference between big wheels and tires on a car and big wheels and tires on a truck is the color of your neck.

My wife had an aunt from around Eatonton that used to own one of the later "Bubble" Caprice wagons. Now I ain't a big Chevy fan but I am a fan of most any station wagon. She told me there were at least 15 other guys begging her to sell them that car.

When I first joined here I posted a 68 short bed stepside C10 with original inline 6 and 3 speed manual on the column. It had rust in the usual spots but it was running and driving. Everybody wanted that truck.
