Yes, that was really bad to see all those classics damaged during the storm...And yes, I'm still not a fan of anything larger than 18"s on E-bodies. :misbehaving:

 :eek4: Some real nasty damage there to some seriously expensive classic cars !

                                                                                                  2   aftermarket bling rims.          :cooldancing:

I thought Jeeps were the only ones with fold down windshields?   :eek4:

I can see I must be in the minority, but without a better look I like SOME on the bling rims -
They can't be too big or not fit the "style" of the car.

PS - I don't mind those rims... please don't flame me  :lol:

 As for those wheels, I can't really see what they look like or how they fit the scheme of that car from the picture angle. They actually look a lot like a torque thrust to me. As for aftermarket wheels on our cars I prefer to see them, it adds personality, and individualizes our cars to our tastes. I don't always like the wheel choices but I do respect them because they are a personal preference same as the originals,  you either keep them or you don't it's a matter of preference.  Pete

Tree?  Looks like there's a dent stripe from the hood, across the windshield ending on the trunk lid.

I do too, but then, I like the look of somedaysoon's car, katfish's car, the engineer's car, a long with others as well. I guess it's just hard to make an e-body look bad. :smokin:

A Challenger windshield sure wouldn't have collapsed like that.    :stirpot:
