Mellow, HT and Nuke, you guys are too much...I agree yellow is the fastest and best color available! HT...false...Nuke, I'm with you, I've seen soooo many people giving their tires hell trying to get them off and now I know why. I'm just happy I got them off so I could get those calipers painted. Cheapest mod I've done yet and it only took 4 hours (with drying time)

Woah woah woah. Lets come to our senses and realize that grabber blue is the fastest. I know from experience 
Also loved your idea on all the painting JD, inspired me to do some of my own! I'm debating doing something with my calipers but we'll see. I paint matched some under hood goodies after reading your thread
came out great

As usual, Nuke comes in to save the day before I have a chance to come in.
But yeah, it's not unusual for wheels to corrode on. Just last week we tried to do a tire rotation on a van at work and couldn't get the rears to budge. My technique of shooting my hands out at it like a kinsman in football was sadly no match for it. Neither was my sit and kick with my heel while spinning the tire style. We would have had it, but the area manager took away our sledge hammer and a bunch of other situationally useful tools for safety reasons. I still don't agree with the removal of our breaker bars. :/

Gentlemen, the reason why my car's color was named "ALLOY" was because it goes by so fast that the color spectrum doesn't have time to catch up so they picked a name associated with the blur of colors (and "Doppler" simply wasn't cool). Besides, why would I want a car so slow that you see it as one, single color?
