My Torino has hte 2 part seat belts... my dad says they came along in a time when nobody wore seatbelts, and if you did, you never bothered with the shoulder part. Taht piece just stayed clipped on the piece above the door where it stayed. Too much hassle ofr something that wasn't evne required.

Anybdoy remember **** carpeting? My dad had a Corvette that he bought wrecked that someone had glued **** carpetting ot the dash... he ended up having to replace it because the glue peeled the vinyl with it.

My personal thought... 20+ inch wheels and with super low profile tires... They are Ugly, Destory the ride and handling, and can make a good looking car look bad...

AAAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
MY EYES! IT BURNS! IT BURNS!

I agree Craig.

There are some cars that are designed for big rims. The new Camaro and the Challenger for example. That 4th gen Monte? Uh....NO!
