New wheels and some night shots (Pics, lots of them)

So I finally went home from college for the first time in a few months and got a lot done to my car.

Here's when I first pulled her in to the spare garage:


Put on the winter wheels and tires:


Dirrrrty:


Changed the oil and washed and waxed herl, finally:


Night shots:



MSR Style 45's on Falken Ziex 512's (I know, I know. 1000 other people have these wheels, but they look good and were a good price for winter wheels.)








And finally, my personal favorite:

Well, my dad was convinced that black wheels would be better in the winter. Don't ask me why, but I just know that he was offering to let me buy some. Turns out, it was my christmas present. They got off the hook pretty easy I guess.

and it's a Canon Eos 30d

Why would you not put snow tires on your winter wheels?

Because I don't live in Canada. haha

The most I will ever have to drive through is a few inches. So I can get by with all seasons. If it gets worse, I'll bring my expedition to campus.

****** kids,

Your parent's buy you a set of wheel's and tires, that most here would happily rock as Summer wheels, and you make a comment like that?

I don't know you, so I could be wrong, but I'm guessin Mommy and Daddy pay your way, and that's cool, good for you. But in my eyes your a spoiled little bitch.
Hi, I got my college payed for with scholarships.

Thanks for the first part though.

Since you only responded about them not paying for college, I think we can assume that they paid for your cars, insurances, and most other living expenses. And again, that's great, it's every parent's desire to be able to provide for their children. I just hope you'll learn to be more appreciative.

If any other member's Daddy bought them this set of wheels and tires for a Christmas present, they would be in here saying how awesome their parents were.

You make the comment that "they got off the hook easy" That makes you a spoiled bitch, period. I hope you have the class to not say these kind of things to your parents.

Be appreciative. Most member's here are not as lucky as you seem to be.

First of all, you don't know me. Second, I said they got off the hook because all I asked for were the parts for stg.1. I was going to pay to have it installed later. They didn't want me to have stg. 1 because they didn't entirely understand what it was.

I thought my dad was just being cool when he let me buy the wheels to put on the all seasons. My sister graduated from college last year and now has a teaching job so she provides for herself. Because of this, my parents have a lot more money to spend on random things. After I ordered the wheels he said they were my christmas present. Which is FINE. I love how they look, they just kind of snuck out of stg. 1. Had I known, I would've just put the tires on my stock wheels.

I am extremely appreciative of my parents and all that my dad has done to become as successful as he is. I hardly ever disobey my parents and they know that I love them dearly. I am NOT a spoiled bastard. Ask anyone that I graduated high school with. A high school where I used to be made fun of because my parents were not poor.

But I'm done trying to convince you.

Your dad "let you buy the wheels" with his money, LOL
But am I ungrateful for that? No.

Am I just not supposed to accept anything from my parents?

Nope, MSR Style 45
They look quite similar and are a lot cheaper.

Be humble, and be grateful, I hope you are honest about being so towards your parents, they deserve it.

Your comments here said otherwise, so I called you out. Period
No, you trolled.
