It is rather odd.

Be more ironic if I wasn't always watching car shows.

I saw Tyra Banks on Oprah once. I think that's as close as we'll get to porn on Oprah.

About the wheels, I'm not unhappy with my painting, I just want chrome, and knock offs. Every single one of them old British sports cars had knock offs, and that's the look I'm after now.

I've seen some 1/64 Die Casts with knock offs somewhere before. Lemme check Target, KB and Wal-Mart and letcha know.....

I really like that ride Pimp. None of the area Shaqs have any yet, only the Mustang !

Heres an idea
Get some alloys and make the wire rim desgn out of cut paper clips then just solder them into a cone and solder them to the inside back of the alloys

I think the car looks good with the wheels now, but would look better with better wheels, and would look sweet with some Scala wheels. This is coming from a big-fat-alloy-lover though.

Good Idea but I don't think they make paper clips that small. Alloys don't have a lot of center to do that....and make it look right!
This is the closest thing I see that will work

Umm, the alloys already have laser cut spoke inserts. Paper clips would look clunky and sloppy in comparison. Besides the fact I already stated that I decided against the alloys because they would not allow me to lower the car.

That's nice. Not like I really care.

My bad, I read that as Opera not Oprah

the spelling mistake trickled down.

Dave, you need to get that thing in a pic with a "bond girl", saying "I want your gear-stick instead"

Bond is a true blue pimp

Motion to make him an honorary member

I got the DB5 last week and Pimps, if you don't have one, run out and get one! The body IMO is the absolute BEST RS has put out to date. The detailing and paint on this thing is awsome. You don't have to do a thing (except lower)to it. No amount of pics can do this justice (though Dave came awful close) and they are 50% off right now! I also picked up the Vanquish and it sucks! Great detailing but it's too tall & narrow. They shouldn't have made this one an SE. So opt for the DB5, you won't be sorry! And Dave, you made the wire wheels look so much better. In the RS Advertisement they don't look too bad but in person, they really suck. I was scowering the toy stores yesterday looking for something to replace them.
