Oh, are the Spectra owners car guys? All the better, I support them as much as I can (try to use their stuff in our shop as much as possible, as well as myself on a personal basis) so it's even better if I know they are into cars too.

I don't mind the white wheels with the white stripes. (Although I think beauty rims would have helped.)
