Shopping for Tires and Rims Easy for Husband

Posted on July 30, 2008 by admin in Automotive

People seem to have a belief that women love to shop and men do not. I have a different view on this subject all together. My husband loves to shop for tires. In fact, he will shop for hours and hours until he finds discount tires that he likes. He makes sure that he is getting the best deal around and that he is going to be happy with his purchase.

He will also spend hours shopping for tire and wheel packages, even if he doesn’t need them. He just loves to hunt down a good deal and he loves working on cars.

So while most people see things as I stated earlier, my family is different. My husband will spend a lot of time looking for Nitto tires, or whatever. Not all stereotypes are true I guess, but getting him to shop for furniture is not easy.

Hot Rod Hubcaps & Tires from Hot Rod Hanks

Posted on June 16, 2008 by admin in Automotive

Fixing up hot rods is one of my hobbies. In fact, that’s what I spend most of my free time and money on. I am working on one now and I am getting ready to install hot rod hubcaps.

I installed hotrod tires last weekend and my fixer-upper is starting to look great. Next is the paint job. I just couldn’t wait for the tires and wheels any longer.

And after the paint I’ll get any hot rod accessory that it needs and I’ll enter it into a couple of contests. I don’t expect to win too much but I want to show it off.

Tuesday Nights at the Car Club

Posted on May 30, 2008 by admin in Automotive

I am a member of a car club and we meet every Tuesday night. Last week we had a big discussion about rims. I like 20 rims. My friend David needs a new car rim and his mom needs one truck rim. They both hit a bump on their ways home and off flew a rim from each of their cars.

We ended up talking about all sorts of things and I remembered why I like the car club so much. We all have common interests and we get together just to discuss them.

Next week we’re going to discuss how to choose the right color of paint for your car. I say go with something everyone will like but others disagree because if you are not ever planning on selling your car, then you should choose any color that you want.

It should be interesting.
