Default "beans"?

i took this when driving from my phone, i couln't get the phone out fast enough. just check out those daytons w/white-walls. i'm sure there are more out there, but this is the 1st one i've seen. i thought that someone would get a kick out of it. no offense to any mexicans out there.

Now, why would a "mexican" be offended by that?

That's actually not that bad w/ that color... ditch the crappy taillights and paint the door handles, and it's a clean ride.

I prefer Astro Supremes w/ my whitewalls, tho.

Yeah, its Fort Knox Gold (I want to say it had a different name the first year). It was only available through 2001. They're (not) suprisingly rare, and everytime I see one I get all excited...then my wife tells me I'm a huge dork.
