The white Reatta sits higher than my wife's H3 Hummer. I'll bet it doesn't take hills like hers does.

uhmmmmmmmmm.....................

should have spent the money on something a bit more useful. Like a supercharged engine and a brake up grade. At least now he would have no issue with the fit of the calipers.

And did I mention I do not much care for how it looks

I think the white one looks like someone has loaded up a Reatta on a farm wagon with big fancy wheels. If it had a tongue connected to the SUV in front it would look like it was being towed.

I hope this wasn't spotted back in the hills of Tennessee. Our reputation of being dumb is bad enough without something like that.

On a Reatta I don't think I'd go over 18''. Even then I could notice a slight bit of a lift

We could steal this thread for awhile and do Tennessee/redneck jokes?
For instance...
I went to my family reunion to find a new wife.
or
The inventor of the toothbrush is from Tenneesse, if he was from anywhere else it would have been called a teeth brush.
But seriously, I think some of the most beautiful places in the country can be found in Te.

Viking, with the wheels on the white one, trying to keep them spinning just might put in the same MPG as the Wife's H3.

Ugh.

Do you want to know what I had for dinner? Just look in the waste can next to my computer desk. That's my reaction to the ruination of two perfectly good cars. At least the white one could be salvaged by putting some proper rims back on. The paint job on the blue/yellow one? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. 'Nuff said.

Now excuse me while I go rinse with Listerine.

If at first you don't succed, try, try, and try again, and keep trying 'till you can't try no more, and if you couldn't do what you spent all that time trying to do, then you just spent a whole lot of time trying to do something you just couldn't do!

I will assume you posted those pics for a critique. Well here is mine.

Is there a stronger word than " ugly " that can be used. That is blasphemy. That is so "look at me" and puke.
