The whole point of them being cross drilled is so that they cool better so they don't warp.

Well, I paid like $300 for all 4 rotors and pads... and expecting to get what I pay for... I'm expecting them to warp.

That'll work. I'm 93% sure my rotors will be fine but they are up to 40k, this is the second time I've had them on with track brakes, and I'd be SOL in Florida if I don't have spares. Not real concerned about the rears. And hell even if I didn't have a spare the spoiled baby is being towed so I don't have to worry about getting home AND I'll be in freakin' Florida with booze so I'm sure I'll manage.

And just so you know your engine kill super duper stealth mod won't stop people from stealing your brake rotors. People do that you know. People desperate for braking.

People like me.

Yes but the whole reason you use non-drilled/slotted is because you prefer not to have a crack form between two weak points and your brake rotor breaks.

Well... I took off work today to get **** packed and start moving stuff to the new house.
I have 5 old CRT monitors lying around if anyone is interested (free).
Haven't really plugged them in lately to make sure they work, but they probably do.
Just trying to get rid of excessive junk.

If I didn't have 2 17" monitors and a 22" in the basement already I would take them.

What time did you want us there this weekend?

I moved a lot of stuff today
Tomorrow I'll have to focus on taking my workout machine and bar apart and getting everything ready for the move Sat.

You're more than welcome to over if you're bored.

Jon - Can you post your address again? I guess we're supposed to get a lot of snow this weekend too, which could add to the difficulty of loading heavy objects up a ramps.


Ryan - Dropped my rotors off to be re-machined today... could be done by next week. When do you need to borrow them?

Yeah.. pisses me off that the past few weekends weren't that bad (weather wise) and now it has to accumulate.

My address is:
1146 Jeanie J Ave in Akron

Alright, I'll grab the front rotors and you can borrow them w/o them being turned yet. I'll bring them to Jon's.

When do you go to Florida?


Jon - I'll take a monitor or two off your hands if you're looking to get rid of them. Some of the wiener engineers prefer CRTs to LCDs because they claim its easier on their eyes... which I don't think is true at all.


Also: Do you guys want to plan our March "Meet" to go to the autoshow? I was thinking like March 7th or 8th... which are the last 2 days of the show, so hopefully it won't be too busy... Anyone have any good hook ups for tickets?
(I look forward to the autoshow more than I look forward to Christmas)

Anybody interested in catching a beer after work?

I think the Autoshow for March meeting is a GREAT idea!

Tuesday AM. Picked up the trailer last night. Actually got my truck stuck in mud/snow trying to get it out. Had to have a Chevy Tahoe help tow out my Ford. And then the Chevy almost got stuck getting the trailer out. Finally managed it.

Now I am going to have to work some serious magic to get my car up on the trailer on Sunday in the Snow. My mom's driveway is one that ends with the garage on the side of the driveway instead of at the end of the driveway which means I doubt I'll be able to just pull the trailer back up to the garage. Which means somehow I will almost definitely need to drive my car in the snow.

On low profile Summer tires.

Fun.

No beer for me... I have to scale back my impulsive spending.

I forgot to tell you guys! So, this week I booked a trip to Germany to visit my brother who is stationed at Ramstien AF base as a C130 Pilot...

Interesting thing is, he just purchased an 2008 BMW 135i and I'm insisting that I get to go take it out on the autobahn!

If I wasn't busy with the move, I would have a beer with you.

John: I could definitely use an extra hand today if you're interested.
I want to move all my electronics to the new house.

And BTW... Time Warner Cable won't be able to stop by my house until Monday 4-6pm, so I'll be absent from the forums until then.
It'll be DVD watching for us the next few days.
