I just noticed that paypal refunded you, thats good. But in general be wary of Paypal! They can be very shady, check out www.paypalsucks.com. If you use paypal, link it to a Credit Card. Having your main checking account linked is a surefire way of being screwed if paypal ever locks it, especially if you have your payroll direct deposited. Sorry for the ot post...Ive just read a lot about paypal passing the fraud losses down to the customer.

Yeah. I have my credit card linked to it and not my checking account. I figure that if things don't work out, I could freeze the transaction through my credit card.

3) Steelies are nearly theft-proof. Their beauty is not only in their ugliness, but their stealthyness. You can go from 14" wheels to 16" wheels and most people won't know the difference.
And it's not like they're totally hideous...

You call that function?
as for the 'not totally hideous comment'...are you kidding? (not you wombat)
that kills the look of the car.
