Re: time for another whitewall rant......
Tom, I bought her (the skinny one with the blackwalls) the Studebaker as you suggested, but there was a problem...it had whitewalls! Now I just don't know what the hell to do. This whole whitewall thing has totally ruined my love life! To make things worse, the fat girlfriend likes the Studebakers whitewalls and she is mad as a broomless witch that I didn't buy it for her.

Re: time for another whitewall rant......
More fuel for the fire - I've already posted that I prefer blackwalls on Model A's but found this photo of a nice '32 Roadster with double sided whitewalls. I wouldn't kick it out of bed for having whitewalls. It was listed for sale on the Early V8 section of the Ford Barn Swap Meet and he was asking $62,000 and marked it SOLD!

Re: time for another whitewall rant......
[QUOTE=Forker;643702]I think this discussion could be a lot more valuable if we measured a few other critical factors as they related to choices in tires.
I'm glad we can't do that..... it would lend inappropriate seriousness to the discussion :-) plus Ryan would justifiably pull the plug for beilng political.

Mike I am sincerely puzzled how you get any of that out of my comments. why would one lone opinion in the wilderness dissuade ANYONE from Tour Class judging? 'specially when there is little or no chance they will lose points for WSW :-) I will not be entering tour class judging but you are more than welcome to look our Coupe over at the national meet in Lexington and nit-pick it to your hearts delight. it will evidently make you feel better and will NOT bother me at all. PM for contact information so you can enjoy this opportunity.......

Re: time for another whitewall rant......
How can I trade both the whitewall and blackwall loving girlfriends for the cheerleaders in post #90 ? With girls like them, who notices the tires?

Re: time for another whitewall rant......
And to think that all of this started again because as a new comer to owning a Model A I posted a picture of the 29 Leatherback I had just bought. Still excited about getting the A on the driveway on Saturday and will let it end there.

Re: time for another whitewall rant......

Re: time for another whitewall rant......
Hey Rock, I'm like you - one gal at a time is about all I can handle. Sounds like Chris and Mike need to smoke the peace pipe and get back to having fun with their Model A's - one from Chicago and the other from North Carolina . . . could lead to another "War Between the States". Maybe we should start a thread about "how to get along with your fellow Model A'er even though you both agree to disagree."
The unfortunate thing I've found with emails/forums, etc. is the reader can't always tell when you are being facetious, sarcastic, humorous, flippant or whatever unless you use the little smiley faced icons. You can make someone angry even though if you had said the same thing face-to-face they would have not taken offense to your remarks. There is no way of hearing the "inflection in your voice" with the written word. Fred

Re: time for another whitewall rant......
Yes Fred, maybe I should emulate Bill W. and get me a Buster T, because dogs don't care what kind of tire they piss on.
