Dood - I'm sorry - I know you were extremely disappointed I wasn't there, but life sometimes gets in the way and I am not always in charge of that.

Hope you had a good time anyways

I completely forgot about this, but as it turns out, it was probably for the best. I ended up shredding part of my tire Saturday night doing some regular driving and the results could have been bad if it had been "spirited".

Looks like a good turn out.

I'm telling ya, Camry's have been on my hit list for years-since driving home for the weekends when I was in college, it was ALWAYS a CAMRY screwing me up, ugh! I need to find the pic of the one holding us up at the Dragon...

Scott setting up a cruise huh? Is there a time frame in mind for this yet?

Wow Creto, sorry to hear that-what happened, and is the 8 okay?

I'm also going to need to know what kind of tires you were on...gotta steer clear of them, I destroy tires anyway...

I think his words were, "I'll take the next one. We'll do it sometime soon."

I apologize if I misquoted him, but I don't think a timeframe was specified. However...if you hadn't left early, you probably would have known all this already. I'm kidding...please don't hurt me.

Oh, psh, well if it's anywhere close to that phrase odds are he's already forgotten he said it-so if anyone wants to take that over...

I had to go rescue my sister, she had a dress crisis, my apologies for bailing.

However, if I hadn't left early, it wouldn't have come out of Scott's mouth for all to hear in a group discussion as there would not have been a single group-so it's a catch 22.

I'll let this one go, no hurting necessary.

Kuhmo Ecsta SPT's... it's the neg camber on my rears that is chewing them up on the inside tread. Unfortunately, I had not gotten on the ground recently to check the inside tread, as the outside looked great.

Allegedly it's -1.8, but it looks more than that.

Yeah, same thing happened to me, if I hadn't been fixing my front end I'd never have seen the cord sticking out on my back tires-I'm such an idiot, though, everyone kept saying I needed new ones and I kept looking at the outer tread thinkin'...?? It looks great to me...??

An alignment helped but I'm still going through tires way too fast-guess it's just comes with the springs, gotta deal with it. Sorry to hear about that, though, glad it didn't happen on a cruise!
