Looks like it's...at least...back together.
Well I feel its time to possibly offend some of my 3s friends on here.... So enjoy these pictures of my temporary Ronald McDonald Spyder. 17" Cobra R wheels that have been powder coated yellow. Cheap enough that I could afford them so I could go on my trip worry free. Sadly I can't afford to paint or powdercoat them for awhile but at least I don't have to worry about blowing out a tire if I run over a small pebble (previously very low tread 19" tsw's)

Holy hell I would powder coat those wheels for free given how bad they look.
Glad it's back together.

Sure the color is bad, but this is what gets me:
Sadly I can't afford to paint or powdercoat them for awhile...
Then why own a car that is known to be expensive to maintain/repair?
Hell, buy some plastidip or something for a couple bucks a can. Will look a hell of a lot better than yellow.

Hell yes! That's what I want my garage to be like. In all honesty have you seen those magnetic holders for knifes? I want one to hold all the little attachments for my air system. Hold the air chuck, the tire inflator, the tire tester, and so on.

Vegas is right though, a can of spray paint is cheap...I just think he doesn't wanna tape it all up and do the work.
And Jason, if it would hold the small things I would do it in a heartbeat.

Those tape strips aren't nearly as strong as the knife holder ones.
I think they were $15 at Ikea, but
Target has them for $10. I still want some.
Wood one is sweet.

Wow, could those wheels be any uglier than that color?

Oh man I plasti-dipped the wheels on the Cadillac for about $30... Holy hell so would do something, anything, to change those wheels

I'm just glad it's being driven and enjoyed. I don't care what color the temporary wheels are.

I just read the last part of the quote I copied.
Guess he couldn't afford 19" tires?
I guess it's good that the car is back together and running, but he really can't afford this car.

Ahh heck, if people only bought cars they could easily afford Detroit would go bankrupt.

His garage says other wise.
Priorities out of place, maybe?

True.

I love the amateur forensics here. He chooses not to spend $800+ on 19" tires right now, but clearly his priorities are misplaced because he's got some Autozone tools and a smallish LG TV in his garage...all of which could have been bought over the last 10 years.

That LG was probably a promoting for buying the g5.
I got my kids those phones and they came with 32 in TVs
