How do you know what kind of rims he had on?

What I find hilarious are the CD sized disc brakes :)

Has Scott ever said what he does for a living????

Not that I recall - he just digs cars and travels all over the
Southwest.

I think he's a 1-man auto-theft ring ;-)

That picture is sad though - I prefer to see Escalades sitting in
parking lots with no rims.

At least their car costs more than their rims - which doesn't make it
any more drivable once it has no wheels

The car probably costs more than $2000, and judging by the rust on the
rotors, it's been there a while.

Rotors can begin to rust in a couple of days if not driven.Mine do here in
Florida.

What kind of inventor would not also invent a device to defeat the device he
invented to catch others? Remember, you always take the antidote BEFORE you
poison the water supply.

You'd be surprised. On the torqueless wonder car a number of years
ago someone pried off a piece of side trim and stole it.

Which undoubtedly had huge 18" or even 20" tires to show off those tiny
little brakes. Damn ******s and wiggers, unbelievable how stupid they are.

It's even funnier if they have only drum brakes and then paint them red ;)
