    Oh yeah, There was a teacher in high school who had one. Every once in while we would pic the car up and put it back in his parking stall side ways:evilsmile:

    I still to this day can't believe they only used 3 studs per wheel...

    And no, not for 3 grand....$300 maybe.

    We used to do this to my buddy's Honda Civic. He told me he was gonna get me back, and I said he wouldn't find enough guys that would be able to lift my 60 Bel-Air :)

    There is a funny running gag on the show "Glee". The menacing cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester, drives a Le Car, and always refers to it like it is the finest automobile ever made. Always good for a laugh! David :)
