And hey, I'm a young feller, too. Maybe just not young enough to appreciate this er...ah... "style."

well, in jeff's case, it looks like the advantage would be the look. if someone chooses this look, they are often putting form over function. the car will not ride smooth or handle as well as if it had 17s and more rubber. just as i am putting the fun of driving my classic mini over the safety offered by, say, almost any other automobile.
again, the 20s not my cup of tea but as my great-grandfather used to say, with his eastern european accent, "that's vye stetson makes differents kinds hats."
