This is about it unless I go with those really expensive brand wheels.

I wasnt trying to sound like an ****. I know everybody has their own taste. I am just old school and like the oldies better I guess. I might try to come into the 21st century but I dont know yet if it is me.

I agree, it was covered with bird poop as were the Roushs that they had.....









These were only a couple of 8 or more that he had, I really don't think he cares what people buy. this was in the service bay.....








The guy that owns this Ford GT has more than 20 of them (yes 20+ Ford GTs) that he bought from this dealer (including 2 in the Gulf colors). They are also the ones that effed up the paint on my GT/CS. See why I trusted them? Not any more. I'm still sick over that deal. Bastards.

It's actually not. 4x4s from 87-91 had a level ride height, or the back maybe an inch higher. I need 2.5 inch leveling springs on the front of mine to get the stance a stock 4x4 has

They also put pics on the ad that they stole form somewhere else.
yeah, I'm not buying from a private seller. Especially since I want a deal on my trade in aswell

my guess is they swapped the nice looking wheels out with those and someone worked a deal $$ to get the wheels it likely came with ?
a freind in Albert just bout a Saleen just like that and the wife gots a new Charger I think these were the wheels that he got when he took it I think he just walked in and bought it.

The local newspaper had an article and this quote as to why our schools stayed open yesterday when all the other schools closed...

"If the driving conditions had started to deteriorate, the superintendent would've called in and call it off," Boyett said.

Keeping the students in school Friday kept the children safe and fed, Boyett said.

Some underprivileged students may not have gotten to eat if school would've been closed down, Boyett said.

"The meal that they have Friday at lunch frequently is the last meal they will have until they come to breakfast on Monday," she said. "You take all those things under consideration, and you offer a safe place for the kids to be."
I couldn't let that sit. I had to respond.

"The meal that they have Friday at lunch frequently is the last meal they will have until they come to breakfast on Monday," she said. "You take all those things under consideration, and you offer a safe place for the kids to be."

I'm sorry but this is fail. If this is in fact true then I think roughly 60 hours without food is cause for the authorities to step in.

The real culprit here is the liberal ideology apparently held by some in the administration that the school is the guardian of the children and the safety of all the kids should be put at risk so a few can have a last meal on Friday at lunch. WTF is wrong with you people. If VISD had left it alone and said the conditions didn't warrant it, and luckily by dismissal at the end of the day they certainly did not warrant a cancellation or early dismissal, I would have said fine, they got it right. But to throw in the bleeding heart starving kids remark as a final justification just loses me. It's a school people.

And to add to that those that believe these are all our kids to be responsible for, is just ludicrous. The school IS responsible for the safety and well being of the kids from the time they get on the bus till the time they get off. After that it's in the parents hands. You can't be all things to these children. If there is a problem the authorities should be called. But you can't risk the safety of thousands of children so that a few can have a last meal on Friday.

If this is such a factual statement by VISD, lets see the numbers of those that go hungry all weekend. Let's do something about it as a community. But the schools are apparently over burdened as it is with just trying to educate.

If it is truly the case that these children are better off at school than at home, then I guess its time for 24 hour school. Start picking kids up and dropping them at school and they can't leave because the "community" decided we could keep a better eye on them and feed them at school than anyone else could. Or how about school from 8 till 5. Everyone should love that. Forget the teachers they're overpaid anyway right? I mean really. What is school but government daycare anyway? That's what it comes down to. Whether the parent(s) work, or stay home on their fat asses everyone wants to get the kids out of the house and who wants to have to go pick them up at noon when the school could just watch them for me.

BTW the entire last paragraph is written in sarcasm for those of you that may have attended a VISD school.

Allow me to reiterate. The school district got it right, but for the wrong reason in my opinion. I think they got a little lucky too.
And we wonder what's wrong with our country.

I just hate it when they want to bend or make rules to suite their own f'n needs.
