this is the last thing i am going to say in response to anything political.

i think you both need to read up on some things, because your information is not accurate.

the end.

If I could find steel wheels that fit my car I would run those in the winter - so I would say your doing fine for those as winter wheels.

^ Cool man, yeah I actually think they look okay. But they are cheap. The weight is a little heavy too at 2 lbs over stock, but who cares right?

Well, that depends if you're a Republican or a Democrat.

Yeah, i think Denny had some salt damage too on the lip. I didn't really think about that. But I still think I'm gonna chance it. I clean my wheels at least once a week now and hosing them off a few times a week in the wintertime should be good. I didn't realize they actually put a clear coat on the lip. Is this really the case? I thought it was just polished bare aluminum.

Obama claims if you don't make more than $200,000 annually, you won't see any tax increases. Then he goes on to talk about his healthcare program and how it's going to allow every American to obtain insurance coverage. Then he talks about more regulation of programs. Then he argue's with McCain about the fact that taking a hatchet to the federal budget will eliminate too many good programs. Obama intends to take a "scalpul" to eliminate the ones we don't need and aren't working. Yet, as McCain pointed out, never once does he mention where the money is going to come from to fund all of this. I highly doubt it's all coming from the guys who make more than $200,000 a year. Hmm... I mean come on. Another proposal of Obama's would have the IRS fill out your tax return for you. I wonder what that would cost? Those who itemize can still do their own. But then why in the hell would you have to have the IRS fill out a 1040EZ for you? A 10 year old can file a 1040EZ! Stuff like this is just off the wall stupid. Throw more of our money down the ****ter!

Sadly, this is all overshadowed in the hope that Obama will fix the economy. And I still don't see a clear plan from him.

^ I've never heard of anyone grenading a X yet. How did he manage that? That's probably one of the first.

yep, they're clear coated. as long as your keep them clean they will survive fine.
