The wheels that I want for my mom's Jeep are too wide to fit the nearly-new $Michelin$ tires currently mounted on the vehicle. Finding a non-OEM alloy wheel in 16x7 with the proper bolt pattern and offset is turning out to be a sum*****. Might need to Dig Down Deep for that Escalade after all...

mf$%#@!--I just wrecked one of my three white Lamborghinis from the late '80s. I was on the way to a fence to hock a .50 cal my dad stole from a warehouse where he used to drive a forklift and ultimately got busted by the ATFB because the statie that investigated the wreck finched me out.

Damn, what am I going to tell my mom when I get home about why the title to our trailer house has been encumbered??????

Guess I'll have to take one of my other ten cars or possibly my one off Harley to work next week if I don't buy that Gazelle I been eyeballing that is for sale in Grenwhich over the weekend

Maybe, I'm not sure about his background, but he said they installed some of these same model windows in a Baghdad market and it has been dry as a bone at the market since these Pella's were put in. He says that Pellas are rated to be the best window all over the mid east and they were designed somewhere in the mid east using local weather conditions as the standard for preformance... Anyway, Iv'e been in a funk ever since he laid this dam quote on me.

rumor has that the windows hold up well to those nasty sand storms they get over there and apparently there is some sort of self cleaning giszmo that works great on camel spit!

I was wondering how well they stand up to direct hits from RPG's? Maybe the DOD could have the Pella rep stop by there . . .

I hear this is already a done deal, and that American tax dollars are soon to fund 100% of the Mid-East's "Complete Window Replacement Peace Plan".

Maybe Pella can start building some of the vehicles we are using over there. Got any data on how well those Pellas stand up to blasts from IED's?

He'd better watch out, building houses for Saddam is what brought the Bluth Company to its knees.

That wouldn't have happened if they'd been using Pella . . .
