Aaaay Ghost! Owyadoon?
I'm gonna jus' go off here without checkin' into it (N' all you that know me'll be sayin' : So? What else is new?) so, until those more fluent in (Read: most other members) Stewie swing by to verify 'r contradict, here'z how it plays out:
Stock tires n' wheels . . . accordin' to Java.
Tires: Stewie's born n' bred n' meant for maximum grip. Ain't no way Mother Honda's lettin' 'er oud'a the corral with anythin' but max-high-traction, fair-weather shoes on it's feet. No exceptions. I can't, by any stretch'a the imagination, figure the stock 'Stone 050s as bein' "all-season" hoops.
Wheels: After the fairly good-lookin', original AP1 5 spokers, as a rule: always ugly, but they serve-up well both hot, or, cold.
Be well.
Java

Try your choice of an alcoholic beverage (or 2 or 3) and it will become crystal clear.

Cliff notes: Tires -- Summer max performance. Wheels -- non weather dependent.

Now, on to the quiz portion of our class.

Question 1) When was Java born (round to the nearest Era, Mesozoic and Cenozoic will not be accepted)








Sorry Java, more at your expense I know. I eagerly await for a time when I slip up, and it is my turn to take the heat.

answer to Question #1 :

I figure he ain't old enough to remember the great depression, but not young enough to grasp text-messaging.

era, Post Industrial Revolution, w/ Neolithic Tendencies

But who could be sure? ...can't tell from his typin'.
When the lord said "Let there be Light." , Java might have been the one who flipped the switch.

best regards,
jagg


an, j.j. , I won't apologize, ( no, really java, i'm sorry that i'm not apologizing about not being sorry) I'll be here..waitin' for the heat.
