Post a picture you took today

Hey Kevin, take a propane torch next time to heat up those lug nuts. They will break loose in no time after heating them up. Last time I went, I took my dolly and loaded it with a tool bag and other crap so I would have everything I needed and something to hall the junk back to the car.

Frack... that really looks COLD! I hate the cold.

But. I'm not trying to loosen lug nuts? Around here they have a bunch of broken down wheel barrows for you to haul tools and parts in. If you're lucky, you get one where the handles are actually attached to the tub and it doesn't steer hard to the right every time you try to move it. The fancy places make you pay a $20 deposit to make sure you bring it back.
 
All yards here offer wheelbarrows to use for free. Torches are not allowed in the yards here, and they do check your bags.

Honestly, I'd love a nice set of wheels. 16" or 17" would look great. But what holds me back is that A. the purchase would have to coincide with new tires (my current set still has some life in it), and B. that you need four; I could justify the price of one wheel, but four? Rather save that money for necessary repairs.

Also, I don't hate my stock wheels. Sure, they're small, but they fit the style of the car, and the tall sidewall helps ride comfort.

thats kinda where my mind was with the sc wheels, they would be cool but it is a bit frivolous considering my factory wheels are still mint, I just gotta use oven cleaner to get the hard stuck on brake dust off in the spring but the faces still looks brand new, so it just doesn't make a whole lotta financial sense, especially for a car I only drive 3 months of the year
 
Selection is ever more limited but 15” tires have the benefit of being absolutely dirt cheap. I threw a generic set on the Focus that cost $52 each! That’s less for the set than one 295 45 18 on the back of my Cougar 🤣
