YKYAEM when you can't help but wonder just how bad the Cd is on these cars and what kind of vortexes are produced by these.

And I've heard people diss on classic Cragar SS wheels, calling them egg beaters.

This is egg whip, whip 'em up good! Eat it, beat it, whip it up good!

I live here and see them all the time. And like most things in that "type" of people. The bigger they stick out the better you are for some reason. What is the scary part is the the blade center cap is the wheel nut that hold the whole thing together. They use a BFH to get them tight. They use German TQ specs to secure them.

I used a different definition the other day when listing the tools I had available for a modding party.
Big Friendy Hammers (BFH). Nothing says "please" and "excuse me" as well as a Big Friendly Hammer!
