Bite your tongue!
Not you Henry! Riding stock. I thought I could always depend on you to carry the torch. Don't let me down. Put some rims on that car!

I had forgotten you even had it. See, it needs wheels! Bad!

Okay.....just making sure the mod bug was still alive but still, how can you not get some wheels? I would be turning in bed thinking about which wheels to slap on that car.
