Yes this is a direct quote - from Byron. Why is all right in his world? He got 20s ...
You see, our Durango came with 17" wheels ... something that has bothered Byron since day 1. He made a compromise a few years ago and put truck tires on which filled out the wells a little better and he has done pretty well - other than occasionally sighing for the larger wheels of his dreams. Still, he was more or less resigned to small wheels and big tires until ....
In a brilliant financial move, we ended up with the CX-9 (now affectionately known as Angie's car). Byron is happy to be able to claim the Durango as his own - he won't even drive the CX-9 unless we are off on a family trip. The one fly in his ointment is that Angie's car has 18 inch alloy wheels - aaaauuuuggggghhhh the agony!!!! Byron immediately started looking for bigger wheels. Then we made our "cash only" comittment and that seemed to be that. Determined to be bitter forever and ever (or until we can afford new wheels), it looked like we were going to have a problem. However, the Lord knew that Byron really NEEDED to have larger wheels than Angie (yes, you may snigger here) and so He sent forth help in the form of Jacob ...
Jacob came over to borrow some cds from Angie and he and Byron got to talking. As fate would have it, Jacob had a truck that had been totalled recently. That truck just happened to have 20 inch alloy Dodge wheels on it. Moreover, Jacob was pining away for a set of 17 inch alloy wheels to put large tires on for his truck. As you have no doubt guessed, one thing led to another which led to our family decending upon the Moffatt family home for upwards of 3 hours so that the switch could be affected. An now we have ....
Now Byron has a larger engine AND larger wheels than I do, all is truly right in the world.
