So, hammertoes, here's somethin ya may not have known about...
The 1959 Corvette Scaglietti Italia. Carroll Shelby, along with fellow racers Jim Hall and Gary Laughlin, purchased three 1959 Corvettes, sent them to Italy and commissioned Italian design house Scaglietti to build streamlined. The hope was to convince GM to build the 'Ferrari Killer' cars. GM passed and Shelby later linked up with AC and Ford.
Quite the good looking cars...

Are you sure you wouldn't rather have one of those newfangled, up and coming, best thing since sliced bread, faster than everything on the road in the stoplight to stoplight races Tesla Plaids? It even costs less than a C8 ZR1. And doesn't cause climate change like those evil fossil fuel vehicles because it runs on 100% non polluting electricity.

Ya Scotty..... I'm going to be turf tire shopping this week.... they friend I bought it from kept his turf tires to put on his newer JD and put these tire on mine. It will be for the acreage not the front and rear lawns for the house... I have a Toro mower for that duty.... these will work as dry as it is in the pasture but will need the turf tires to keep the weight distributed better.....

My 5205 JD has a cup holder but all that will fit in it is a 12 oz can. Pretty worthless as far as I'm concerned.
