I've seen a 300C running 28s... bloody ridiculous (if a rather impressive feat, 28" of rubber and no rub). I think Hummers also take 28s... at about $5000 per wheel and tire set! |

I can't imagine a 300C running a 28" rim. I've seen them with 20" and 22" and that fills most of the wheelwell. But that's just plain stupid. |

Yeah I don't think a 300C can fit a 28" rim, 22 yes. With rubber band tires. |

Anyone else find it particularily odd that CD sent an old lady to SEMA?  I don't know about you, but sending my mother or one of her older friends, to SEMA, seems like... the wrong demographic... Yap would have been a beter choice, IMO... Then I would know more about the go fast bits available and less about 'dubs'. Ohh well, I guess vtec.net will have to satisfy in SEMA cravings! |

Jill is a dedicated gearhead - she has an awesome and rare Studebaker p/u that's her project vehicle. If someone made remarks about L. Yap's cultural background you'd be in big poop around here - and probably banned. Why do you think it's OK to ridicule Jill's age and gender? |

I think she does a great job. Respect her more and more. She gets right up in the action.
Plus, always enjoyable to read her dialogue. Makes for a good read.
SEMA is such a large show CD should really have full week, 5 part articles on it focusing on different aspects of the show and products/displays.

I think that comment was inappropriate, it's not only men that are car nuts. I think her article was good, it gave me a sense of what is there. |

Her article wasn't bad, but we can't complain considering we don't pay for these services / articles. |

Very nice Toyota Avalon! So fresh and so clean!  A dark grey would be nice .. instead of the shitty copper. |

My bad... the 300 I saw was sporting 27"s! http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2137873/2This is also pretty neat... one would wonder about the structural integrity of it, but cool to look at nonetheless (and talk about unique...) http://www.cardomain.com/ride/742000 |
