Well most of us must admit that we do not possess the indepth knowledge of a whorehouse that you do, I would respectfully ask why you have shown such an Obvious dislike and contempt for the aforementioned trade and occupation ?

I prefer the Goodyears, as I seem to get better service (miles) out of them than Firestones.

Obviously you care what your side of the car looks like and don't care about your wife's side. Shame on you ( lol ) ! Wayne

Apparently some of Ford's ad writers felt whitewalls complimented the Cabriolet. I would like them on mine if I had black wheels but they are a little much on my Tacoma creme wheels.

Black walls for me....just because. If I had a Town Car, or maybe a two door phaeton then all bets are off!
