Bi+C# Thread for the nit-picky old men

[pontiacgp]

I advertised my 99 Jeep for $700, good to stick a plow on it, good for offroad, good for parts or a project...people would respond with "is it safetied and e tested" or "what does it need to put it on the road"...

and now with my wheels 16x8 with a 4.5 backspace, 245 50 16 on front and 255 50 16 on the back...I have one guy with a few emais until he sent this.."I just want to make sure they fit my 2004 lancer ralliart with 67mm hubs. Thanks "....after I reminded him of the bolt pattern on my wheels and asked him if knew his..." Yes it's 5x114.3 ..I am also located in Kitchener, would I be able to test fit them to my car? "

and another guy has a 97 camaro and wants to know if they will fit his car...his car needs over a 5" bs....


I hate selling stuff... 🙁

The one that gets me is is every sbc is "race ready" or "high performance".

Other terms that get over used are "roller" and "balanced and blueprinted".

I didn't go through this whole thread so I don't know if this was already mentioned -

"Must sell this weekend. Going to the scrapyard on Monday!!!"

Ive seen this more times then I can count while looking for used parts online.

I've seen a few CL ads with people referring to posi-traction as "positive rear end". I've never heard that one before.
