the father of murdered cars. i'm sorry

I'm going through stuff from when i moved out of my parents house and stumbled upon an atrocity that i built from around the time the internet came into existence. i believe i was in 5th or 6th grade at the time.

it struck me while moving it to it's new home in my work shop that this might be one of the earliest known examples of matte black wheels on anything that moves. in my prepubescent years, i unknowingly spawned this demon child through a misplaced desire for change and vehicular modification, and released it upon the world where examples now assault one's visual peripheries in every parking lot from posers thinking that it looks better.

I'm sorry. i promise to keep to silver colored wheels for the rest of my life.

The black wheels dont bug me as they become functional over the winter months.

What really gets me is that its parked as a Redneck who wants to disable the EV plug for those in need...


Oh , and too much bondo!

I love black wheels! I do have silver wheels on the sleeper wagon though... I also love white walls. WHY NOT ALL THREE? Also the Fiancée has my old black wheels from my WRX so we could make her car a Storm Trooper car haha.
