The pix in my signature are not OSV wheels. The Ass pix thread will show my car with the wheels on it.

Color matched means that the bezels are painted to match the car color, meaning no chrome on the front of the headlights.

dude you gotta use the edit button and it will save you a lot of clutter...it is in the bottom right corner of your post...when he is saying color match he painted the outer tips of the headlight bezels body color to match the rest of the car

EDIT: oldsnut got in the ninja post

Also, the IRS didnt come into play until then either, but our country did very well in spite of the government not taking care of us.

There's no way 1900-1913 was better than now in any way, shape, or form as far as the overall quality of life for Americans, or less manipulation of the markets from one source or another. In fact, the poor conditions then made it possible for Teddy Roosevelt to wap J.P. Morgan across the chops wit "da big stick". Not to mention the Interstate Commerce Commission, Pure Food and Drug Act.
Infant mortality was high, there was enough horseshit piling up in city streets to gag a maggot..... 1913???? hezus cristos

oh btw, nice car

Trust AleroB888 he was there!

Oh sorry I see it now...and I know what coloring the bezels are, it just didn't look like they were from that pic...

[TheLastOfItsKind]

AleroB888 -So your saying we are better off now with 97% of our dollars value destroyed?? Do you really think our country would go back to that standard of living now just because we stopped letting the government steal from us? Technology, etc from then compared to now is 100% different. Im just saying our standard of living would increase dramatically if we could stop the Federal Reserve from devaluing our currency.

Watch the video and make what you can for it.

I also feel the Federal Reserve shouldn't exist but yet to go back to the Gold standard, it would be hard because people would be scared about the debt issue.

Hell yes we're better off now.

I don't see anywhere I implied a return to the 1913 standard of living, and "the Gov't" is US -- it's what we make it. I don't see "the Gov't" as a "thief" any more or less than it was starting from the Revolutionary War, and furthermore consider it ridiculous to refer to "the Gov't" as a personified singular entity capable of willful malicious acts.

"Hey there, England, how ya doin'?"

"I'm right jolly good, 'merica, 'ower you these days?"

"Well, I went on a rampage last week and robbed all my citizens, bumped the taxes up, put the proceeds in an offshore account, hahaha."

"Bloody well done, Mate!"

[Nas Escobar]

The issue really is the Fiat Money. Money that is created out of nothing. In fact, our currency is backed by debt. The fact that we're not backing up our money with anything is the reason why things like milk and gas are as expensive as they are. Perhaps, that's even why we work for more money but it still won't take us any further than what that money took us back in 1913 or 1953, etc.

Yes sir, Sir!

I think if I had a final 500 it would be too tempting for me to mod the engine and engine bay to the hilt for performance, and then probably the suspension as well (but NOT lowered). You know, the way GM should have done it, at least as an option imo. I'd keep the exterior as stock as possible.

I'd put a true dual, dual cats and all 2.25 exhaust, big SC....

Hey, I've got a GLS coupe with 24K on it loaded, I'll trade for either one straight up !

[TheLastOfItsKind]

Thank you Nas, atleast one of us understands what im talking about....anyways, yes its very tempting to mod my car to the bone...I started bone stock with my 07 Silverado and have put upwards of $8-10k into it! Its an addiction I probably need to kick before it starts hurting me lol. I found these nice rims I am thinking about getting...

[TheLastOfItsKind]

I would like to find some white ones with basically the same design as the other ones, but the Alero bolt pattern is almost impossible to find good rims for. I plan on painting the bezels and clearing the corners...so I dont want mine to look too much like Oldsnut's, lol

[TheLastOfItsKind]

And just a suggestion, I dont know if anyone else would like it but I think the site should be kinda like car domain where we can show off our rides, but also still have the forums seperate...what does everyone think?

The Alero bolt pattern is one of the most common ones out there. What are you talking about? A lot of cars use 5x115. In fact, you can even slap on 5x114.3 on a GM and call it a day. I've been thinking about getting Charger rims. They fit and they have the same bolt pattern as the N body, except with a larger center bore, but whenever you change rims, you're making your wheels lug centric and not hub centric.

SILENCE!!!!! I KEEL YOU AND TAKE YOUR final 500!!!.

no seriously.. i'd go to great lengths to own one of those. there is one in my town, I hear the driver works at a bank and does not take good care of the car... (wombatslayer)< thanks for the tip. lol

I also seen a final 500 bravada at walmart in town. maybe someday ill come across one and restore it then put it in a glass container in my garage so i can stare at it all day while drooling.

[Nas Escobar]

All you need then is the final 500 Aurora and Intrigue and you have a museum.

[TheLastOfItsKind]

I will not put 5x114.3 rims on my alero
