Kinja'd!!!

Look at that stupid dinky thing. Luckily the flat tire was my winters, so I was able to get two of my summers on last night at least on the rear. Wanted to do the fronts tonight but missed the light so now I drive a ghetto car with mismatched rims.

Haha, Those Doughnut tires are nearly offensive to every Car. Are you running stock rims for summer?

No. I don't have any stock rims actually. The winters are 15" off of some other car (forget what) Stock rims are 14". In the summer I run 17" and they look like this:

Thanks, currently it doesn't look nearly as good, but this should begin to be remedied soon with getting all the rims on and repainting the grill and bumper to match the colour of the rest of the car. That should happen on Monday hopefully.

Apparently there are a lot of J body dragsters. I wonder if they run LS6's or something.

Thats ironic haha, i had a donut on the same corner!

and dont worry i had been riding around on mismatched wheels for the past month, until i got my summer set fixed last week. I just casually blow it off saying its jdm... In your case, just say its USDM style. yo.

Your donut looks less ridiculous than mine!! Were your wheels getting refinished?

hahah, all donuts look ridiculous! I felt embarrassed driving home on it. And no, i had a nail in my summer set, so i got it fixed. Im thinking of saving up for a better set of wheels rather than refinishing them. But my car stuff is on hold at the moment for buying a bike....

I am so glad I live in Southern California. This whole idea of having to have another set of tires that you have to change into once a year sounds dreadful.

Having summers all year long is the best.

Also, it's late April. What are you guys doing up there?

You actually change tires twice a year once in fall and once in spring. I've been snowed on every month of my life except June, July, and September.

I hear that. I couldn't handle my donut, I limped it to work and back and then was like "this has got to go."

I am also in the process of colour matching my car (friend crashed my car into a snowbank months ago), so on Wednesday I had a silver car on a donut, with a black bumper and a blue grill...it was gross. However it did match most other J bodies out there since I am the only person who invests in mine even a little bit!

Haha my donut was off the next morning. My summers went back on with snow still on the ground.

Dang! Hopefully the rest of the car is okay. Glad youre taking good care of it!
