Default Expensive lunch

Today we had a long lunch, so I had my new tires put on the car. The old ones were almost completly bald. I like the BFG's, they are the same tire I run on my truck. Also, I broke down and ordered the whole suspension kit from mustangs plus. So after about $1400, I didnt really have the money (or the stomach for that matter) to eat. Next week I am rebuilding the drums at all corners. She is gonna be a whole new car before long. Here are the tires:

Nice looking tires. I love the BFG's and the Goodyear raised white letter tires on these old 65 and 66's with aftermarket wheels if you aren't going to run the thin white or red stripe tireswith steel wheels and hubcaps.

The guy that I bought the car from is getting the pieces for the Granada swap. If they will fit inside 14" rims, I will upgrade to them, if not, then I will later. But I needed the suspension and tires more than disc's at the moment and I have to try to have SOME kind of a budget, so they win out.

Don't you guys have water for your grass? Looks like you either live in a desert or are too damn cheap to water the lawn.
