Haha, the poll was a joke. But I do have a 100% approval rating so far according to them! Haha.

Just post your comments and forget about the poll. Just a little joke to lighten the soon to be gloomy mood of this thread.

Those would be 20's on the back and 18's on the front. I wanted to go with the staggered look on a lot of the old muscle cars but I wanted to give it a newer feel. I am only 17.

Are you trying to say that you're young and therefore you are materialistic and try to fit in with big flashy things? It's all good with me. As long as you keep the hydro's off the car
