Haha, wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said anything, kind of funny.

None, but I was wondering if someone would ask about my lights(when I noticed they were in the picture). I'm an engineer for a local municipality here in town. They come in handy if you have to block a street or want to be seen on a construction site, etc.

Good question, it is a one-way, but I'm not sure if that makes it alright or not.

I've always loved that look. Makes it seems real hot rod-ish to me.

You Always Get Lousy Tread Wear Patterns With Tires With That Much Offset.

True. The spacers are overkill.

I kind of want to put 10 inch magnum 500 wheels on the back and 8's on the front of my car, but I've never seen a GTA, or any thirdgen that has magnums on it.

Re: Saw this yesterday...

You can turn on red in the direction of the one way street regardless if it's a left or right as long as you don't cross other traffic lanes. Which means from a one way onto a one way.
