Re: Hub Caps For Ransom
That's a Hoot!
 I can imagine seeing you being the bitch on the console and when questioned about going to bed a pucker factor had to be one of the fears! Enjoy that hubcap and pray the original owner ain't a hamber,,he may take the "Steel our stuff we'll kick you teeth in" credo literally. HRP

Re: Hub Caps For Ransom
Great story. There's a very good chance the guy that owned that custom short two hubcaps is a member on this site. How cool would it be to find dude and right the wrong?

Re: Hub Caps For Ransom
Wait, wasn't this a scene in American Graffiti ? Except the guys name was Curt and the guys were the Pharaohs.
You better hope the statute of limitations has run out now that you have confessed.  Funny story. Don |

"Never admit to anything!" But, a signed confession? Peer pressure will get you in trouble everytime.

Re: Hub Caps For Ransom
You know; the Scrape Zephyr was one of the "most famous customs built in the 1990s," and it only had 2 ripples, on its good side. Hmmmm...
Nice piece of writing boss. |
