After installing my new wheels

the way my car drives is completely different.

The handling is tighter and more responsive. The ride is a little stiffer, but still comfortable. Cornering is actually fun again!

Now I can’t wait for my new suspension parts to arrive! Gotta love RockAuto, $200 and I have new struts, new shocks, all new bushings, new tie rod ends (inner and outer), new ball joints, and a filler neck grommet coming!

Is your camera old or dirty? It seems most pictures you post are slightly blurry and I feel aren’t doing the car justice. It almost looks like pictures I took with my LG VN251.

Considering my phone is almost 10 yrs old, it’s likely both. Lol.

I hate smart phones and no one seems to offer a decent flip phone anymore.

That’s fair enough. I actually had that LG VN251 back in 2011, so that would make sense the camera is like that.

I’m not sure I can completely understand your disdain for smart phones, but I will say, it was really nice to put my phone in airplane mode while I was in Costa Rica and disconnect for a few days.

About to bust out my 0.2 megapixel digital camera and get that sweet 90s filter.

I think the images suit the era of the vehicle...

I will say, hanging up on someone on a smart phone isn’t as satifying as slammming my old flip phone shut. Too bad it’s not more like Japan. For some reason flip phones are still i mmensly popular and everyone makes one there. Even really big ones. It’s odd

1. I have no need for one. I need a phone for calling, occasional texting, and I use it for pics.

2. I see how people rely on smart phones and it makes me sick.

Surprisingly enough, it has a 3MP camera on it. After years of use and working on things, the lense has seen a lot of abuse.

bright green brake drums?

They look better than rusty/crusty drums.......

Besides, they match the graffiti in the wheel wells and under the hood.
