Burning Rubber...

June 17, 2006: Today must be day I witnessed two over-enthutiastice of mine buddies $plurge (still painful, right guys? :)) a few grand on such impulse for the sake of enhancing the 'masculanity' of their cars. They are none other David and Greg. The haggling was long but I think my two buddies walked... or should I say, drove away with a bigger hole in their pockets, but with more metal to their cars. What to do? My frens wanted new toys, I need to take them to the toy shop lor...What else can I be talking about.... Rims and Tyres!

Check it out....


GREG's Choice: (excellent choice)
