Ridin' rims

rims for sale.jpgOn the way back from Taco Nazo in Baldwin Park, Tania Chatila and I spotted these rims for sale. For whatever reason, when we saw it we both cracked up.

Who locks their rims around a tree and puts them up for sale? And where is the fourth rim?? What am I going to do with three rims?

But I can understand why this would be a better alternative than Craigslist.

In case your curious, the rims are $500 bucks. rims for sale 2.jpg

They're wheels, not rims.
But its a common misconception, since the outer part of the wheel is the rim. But being the car fanatic that I am, I always correct people of the mistake, just like I do when the mis-informed call an illegal street race a "drag race." And we all know that a drag race is only contested on a enclosed on the race track.
May the Force be with you!
