Interesting advert......"at a price you can afford.... $15,000 for a set of wheels ".

That's my income for the last two years.

"Pimpstar" - that seems appropriate somehow. Does pimp have the same meaning over on your side of the pond ?

Yes. I figured they would probably be the only ones who could afford it.

[fkaCarel]

Probably the only ones that want it. I see these things more as an inverted IQ-level indicator.

oh, current american youth dialect\vernacular utilizes 'pimp' to mean 'good, high quality, flashy, impressive, etc'

much like you mighy have once called something cool(apparently like the jazzster hipsters did in the 50s)..

example "did you see tim's new rims? theyre, like, computer monitors N shizzit. that is pimp, yo!'

Considering the traditional role of a pimp, if what you claim is correct, then current american youth have a very debased view of what is good, high quality, flashy, impressive, etc.

While I agree with the American youth statement to a degree, let's not forget that there are many of our youth who are outstanding people!

Well....I don't see any problem with the wheels....maybe we should marvel at the application of technology......

[greybeard]

I'm rather marveling at the waste of money.

I can see it now: Videos playing on an endmill holder while running that long milling job.
