Usually Old people with giant black sun glasses and bobbing heads are over careful and may be an indirect cause of accidents due to their driving habits and a lack of good driving habits on the actual accident drivers.

In short, there are terrible drivers in all age brackets. Laying it off on us "old people" will not cut it. Check the facts
I'm not sure if you're angling some of this at me, but I never said anything about young people being better drivers. Just commenting on the amount of "Too Old To Be Driving" people around here.

Naw, not coming after anyone - was just pointing out that all age groups have bad drivers.

I relate driving to hand-to-hand combat. I'm good enough to know that almost anyone with talent can beat the everliving **** out of me

Right, even though I'm guilty of it myself, are we agreed that we should probably un-jack this thread? Lol.

05rex8, but the owner put the stickers on the wheels.

Seriously would you buy a cheap suit from Ross Dress For Less and sew in a designer label like Hugo Boss?

It is one thing to buy what you can afford but it is an entirely different thing to be frontin.

I see what your saying, don't get me wrong. That's why I would run them without the stickers. I wouldn't make them something they are not.
