    Weren't you just whining on another thread about your rims?

    Seems like a typical Californian to me.

    I learned an important lesson at BB last week. I had just finished a run to SLC from California and back. It was snowing and my new truck needed a bath to get all of the slush crud off. Went to the BB in Fernley NV and paid $125 for the works, including the wheel polish. My truck has lug and hub caps, which are basically just cheap stamped sheet metal with a chrome finish. Truck looked great. Hopped in my truck the other day and glanced down at the wheels. Every single lug and hub cap is rusting. The BB wash stripped whatever protective coating there was off of them and they are all covered with rust. You would think BB would know this and warn you about it. I'm PO'd.

    Whining about the lug caps, not the wheels. Did it seem whiny when you thanked it?

    Arkansas expects icing tonight. US 67, mountain home, fayetteville and on up to Missouri. Temps are 33-32 degrees with rain moving in. It will stay at that level or below freezing until noon tomorrow in many spots. If that happens expect short time ice issues on 67, 40 etc. and Missouri.

    Snows, blows, whatever. 82 in Washington shut down in two places, but the bunk heater is purring, and there's four restaurants in walking distance....

    Try again tomorrow...
