    BZ that middle one used to get shouted at volume if I recall...

    and that was an old dusty hallway remembering the last time I heard that song...

    yeah Nilsson didn't get much credit comparatively

    so it appears that none of the DSP Dodger droolers know squats about cars ... and rims.

    I would not mix diameters personally.

    I'd watch the centerline stagger to assure everything fits, and I may, on the right machine, in the right conditions (track, or the premier restored ElCo) consider different F/R widths but I'd never use different diameters unless the factory hung the car and it's suspension that way... which they didn't, unless it's a Lambo or Ferrari.

    And 17's might look too normal for your tastes but sometimes the fit is more important and on an ElCo you need to keep 'some' working sidewall.

    And if you go too big expect to have to upgrade your brakes to handle the larger spinning mass.

    I'll have to dig up a picture I took at SEMA a few years back of an ElCo raised to sit above 24" Dubs running /25 profile ultra low sidewall tires. It looked like a cherry red steam roller.

    But entirely undriveable as the low profile tires communicate every pothole and pavement seam. He trailered it to each show, so that defines a pointless vehicle...

    but... it looked cool and that alone shall win the day on occasion

    Yeah but bluezoo said underrated
    ankas hits were like puppy love in both senses
    Nilsson was like a missing Beatle in terms of songwriting and talent

    There is the burger place with pool hall, Jake's I believe from teens
    Then this Italian place across from that I'm sure is popular date place next to a little theater I would go in my twenties
    In my 30s the regency theater that played independent and foreign movies went from cheap to dollar theater price, and a Popeyes or Louisiana fried chicken shack a little up the road towards altadena where it's all black people pretty much. So man I had fun because it's so hard finding affordable tasty fried chicken in my neck of the woods and dates included fried chicken and a 2 dollar foreign flick that would help the girl get past that I was spending about 20 bucks on our date. And almost all of that was in chicken.
    I'm getting cravings hard.
    Damn black people have the best kill yourself by 54 cuisine of all people's
    Almost as if the were programmed to eat themselves into a perfect disposable race of workhorse slaves you don't have to worry about the law of diminishing returns.
    The die young and reproduce fast and take a lot of the surplus big white girls with.them.

    Not like they would ever purposely mess with our genetics to produce the type of workman most.desired.
    Why that's science fiction and not world history of industry and slavery.
    Silly me.

    The dude doesn't do social media very much, but they do text often. Almost every day I'd say. And she gets on me for checking my phone all the time... when all I'm doing is refreshing twitter for baseball news lol.

    Bobby sherman!
    I know :)
    I played my mom a song and she got all happy
    Before that I had no knowledge of the guy but apart from his pop culture and entertainment career the dude has been a peace officer and medic and deputy.
    His life is a great story of what to do post teen idol life.
    I always learn a new thing on dsp

    Of course tongue in cheek.
    BTW, on the Nilsson Anthology, there is a song called "the Puppy Song"...
    In an interview, John Lennon was asked, "which is your favorite singing group"?
    He answered, "Harry Nilsson".
    Guy's voice was awesome....multi octave range at one time...never gets his early stuff covered by anyone else, because no one can go where he was capable of going vocally. Male anyway. Roy Orbison is the only one I can think of who comes even remotely near.
    Mariah Carey covered "Without You" pretty well. Whatever she may be, she has a strong and powerful voice, and did Harry's song justice a decade or so ago.
    I truly miss him.

    When I was a kid my mom was a soprano in the big choir
    And she sang to me from before birth and after.
    I was at so much of her choir practice that I would end up playing around pretending I could sing all the weird parts.
    Like in Wayne's world bohemian car ride.
    I could fun my way up and down the octave.
    I would do those singing exercises the choir lady would force the grownups to do. It was funny to me the silly things they wanted to do.
    Lalalalalalalaaaahhhh... lol

    That's excessive, IMO. No foul if you are texting another girl who is your friend, but an ex? I don't like the look of that. As long as her ex is around, it's always going to be a big burden on you, or the next dude for that matter up until he's gone or he's back with her.

    And what the fuck could they be possibly be talking about? And the gifts too? Sounds like she's double dipping, even if she isn't physically doing anything to him, there's something still there.

    Ultimately, it simply isn't fair to you, bro. Surely she wouldn't like it if you and your ex were blowing each other up and exchanging lavish gifts and going to Disneyland.

    And about the phone checking thing, that's gonna be with any female, ever lol. Matter fact, my Fiancee calls this page the "Dick Sucking Pages" haha. All in jest, thankfully.

    I have broken up with a chick for her going through my phone. She came at me like who are all these girls in your phone. I asked how do you know that? "I went through it this morning."

    Told her thanks for all the sex and have a nice life.

    The phone thing is a huge red flag for me it shows they're insecure and untrusting. Also it never stops at the phone it moves onto going through your emails, Facebook, whatever.

    Anyway just my 2 cents about chicks going through your phone, if she does that it's not going to last or end well. In my experience anyway. Some dudes are into that type of womanly control.

    CHRIS!!!.... brotha to be honest i have not posted on this thing in months because of my busy ass schedule even though i do stop by almost every other day to check up on the latest news and how the guys have been....

    ANYHOW, lets put it this way brother if there was not one thing that sank the ship for me as far as your girl not being worth your time or trust it was when i heard how she is when it comes to your phone.....you are one of those younger nice guys who give the woman the benefit of the doubt and who also has not been hurt himself. Let me tell you I will send you the money order/check myself if your girl has NEVER gone past boundaries that "friends" are with this guy. Being a guy who has held on to feelings of ex's the only time i speak to an ex is if i still care for the girl(as many have stated prior)....icing on the cake was the fact that she is insecure about you and what you do on your own phone. I will pay you 100 dollars or pay for the lie detector test to prove to you that your girl has cheated at the very least a few times. Any woman who has such a nice guy who allows her to conversate on the daily basis with an ex without having a problem with it while at the same time being uncomfortable when you all the sudden get on your phone is thinking one thing and one thing only...and that is that she has a guilty consious in the fact that "if im speaking to and giving gifts to/going on half-way dates with my ex boyfriend and doing what i am doing on the side i bet he has to be doing the same if not worse." Sorry all DSP guys for rambling on and all but brother i do not want you to be hurt as many other "passive" buddies of mine have been. You have got my word and i will send you my phone number/address/email address right now and will cover whatever you please as far as proving that this girl is not being faithful to you. Hate to say it but i have 2 woman who pull the same crap with their husbands/babys fathers with me as far as "its simply a friend of mine who just happens to be my ex babe! i promise I would not do you wrong."....best believe i have banged these women on numerous occasions (feel bad for it) and i can almost gaurentee based on all ive read about your girl she is not keeping it real with you. Sorry if i come off as a downer and all but im sick of seeing buddies of mine who deserve great/loyal woman having their heart broken. YES I AM BUZZIN IT AND MAY HAVE GONE ON A HUGE RAMBLE BUT TRUST ME BRO.... you are too young to have to put up with these things she tells you "this is how it is you have to accept my ex or else....BUT WTF ARE YOU UP TO ON YOUR PHONE!!!!".....i would never allow such a thing to happen. As another guy said earlier if she is all about you and plans on giving all of her love and future to you and only you she would sacrifice any EX boyfriend no matter how close they are to prove you are her world.....

    LASTLY(SORRY AGAIN)..... i would not have ever allowed communication with her ex unless it was a must as far as her having a child with him and there is no way of going around not communicating.... the presents/everyday communicating/spending time together at DISNEYLAND/ and her going ape shit on your phone is icing on the cake as far as she is up to no good. YOU HAVE TO KNOW GOD DAMN SURE IF YOU SPOKE TO ANY GIRL/EX/COWORKER DAILY OVER THE PHONE YOU KNOW SHE WOULD BE GOING NUTS..

    Hope the best for you bro...too young and move on or if you really love this one i will pay for the lie detector test and i have a women who administers them if you are interested.... GOOD LUCK

    Can't believe Ford stole my dude and then took him away from everyone. Selfish.
