Okay, I'll share. Not long after I got the Jeep, I ordered a set of black plastic lug nut covers to turn my chrome lug nuts to black. When they arrived and I was a little more sober, I realized what a pain in the ass these would be to try to remove on a cold winter day if I ever had a flat tire that needed to be changed. Seemed like a (drunken) good idea at the time, though... :)
That's too bad, they actually sound like a great idea.

Yeah, but then trying to pry them off in the dead of winter to get a lug wrench on there...

Well, if were all sharing at todays meeting: hi all, I'm Donnie Q. On my previous vehicle, while under the influence of not alcohol but something much more aesthetic, I decided to spray paint the roof of my orange vehicle black. I did not do a good job. Not at all. But at least it never got in my way on a cold winter day. I Also had the wonderful sense to use that temporary plasti-dip stuff instead, so I could clean it off before selling it. I'd do it again, but luckily my jeep has the correct color roof from the factory.

Oh good, for a moment I thought this wasn't the Jeep Anonymous thread. Does this mean your my sponsor now?
Oh, fuck no. I'm way too much of a drunk to be anyone's sponsor. :)
