Yeah, baby! That's what I'm talkin' about! Only thing that's missing is replacing the back-up lights with tail lights so that all 4 are the same (I invented that).
How do I know they're not there? 'Cuz I'm cooool, baby!

yeah, i could never go full tubbed for a driver though.. i have fat tires on my car and it feels soo loose, big ones like that have to be insane to drive around on
Agreed, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet, as I've never had a "fat tire" car.
An older guy who taught me a lot when I was younger had a couple cars with "huge meats" (example below), and while they were fun (really fun!) for short distances and relatively low speeds, once they got up to 50-60 or so they got a little squirrely and/or "bouncy".

And of course having Gary Kollofski as my High School math teacher certainly had an affect on my definition of what a "cool car" should be:

Given the cars I was exposed to during my more "impressionable" years, I have a funny feeling a fat tire car is in my future. Sure, they don't corner for ****, but they sure do look cool!

yeah, i went with 10.5" ET Streets.. my experience with them with other cars has been great and i will never need fat meats like that. My car will never handle great though also
but i don't go autocrossing in my car and it turns corners fine

Picture that upside down in the sand at the end of Orange County Int Raceway
We couldn't see it from the bleachers, too dark, but we did see the Safety Safari and all their friends heading that way to extract Wild Bill.
