Heck, Mike, send some of that "white stuff" down this way. We don't see
snow south of Houston once in a decade!
Speaking of white, does anyone know of a good source for wide whitewall
tires? The widest that Discount Tire can come up with is 1/2 inch. I'm
looking for the big whitewalls like we had in the 50s.
