I was wondering the same thing. The Nomad had pink and blue, and the Chevelle (I think it's a Chevelle at least) had blue and yellow.

Looks like a few different tire makers offer those tires. Here's a link to the most popular one on Google...

Well, I don't really understand PURPOSELY abusing your tires like that in any event...... I don't see myself EVER feeling a need to spend money on tires specifically so I can burn them up.....

Ooohh, come on... You know that V-10 would look good throwing pink and green smoke at all the stop lights in town.

lol if my elcamino had a limited slip or locker i would consider doing stuff like that with it. the only thing i really like about the thing is the 14" rims are dirt cheap to get tires for. you can even buy used tires dirt cheap since they are everywhere.

Given: Getting old sucks. Using a jack and jack stands to lift and support a vehicle is a PITA. I always swore that would never happen to me; however, see my initial statement.

That being said, I've been giving more and more consideration to buying a 2-post lift. That way, I can rotate my vehicle's wheels rather than having the tire shop whose crew seems to believe lug nuts should be torqued at an ungodly value.

Harbor Freight sells some kind of scissor lift that I won't even consider mainly because it's Harbor Freight. I wouldn't trust my life to anything sold by HF. I'm looking for a quality unit and expect a price tag ~$3,500 - $5,000. Does anyone have any links or recommendations? Hopefully, this helps others who may be interested.
