If anyone needs either audio or video repaired in the Seattle area I really recommend King Audio Video Service in Redmond. They did a great job for me. I have a set of Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 speakers. They are known for the amp to die. Well my speakers started putting out a low hum, all the classic signs of this problem. I was really bummed because these speakers have been discontinued. So I looked for speaker repair shops and found them. I brought my speakers there and they fixed them.

About two months later I started getting a high pitch tone from them, kind of like the high pitch tone from an old tube tv, I brought them back and they repaired them for free. The speakers are sounding great.


There site is:

TV LCD Plasma Repair, Car Stereo Audio Repair, Electronics Repair.

Might want to go for a ride listen to your speakers or anyone for that matter with some bumps. I've always wanted some better speakers but don't think they will sound good in my car ???

Man that is awesome!!!

There are two events in the States that I know of that are open road challenges. You pick your average speed, and the closest one wins. I would like to participate sometime. If I only had the guts to push it half as fast as those guys

Here's the one in Nevada..... 90 miles!!!

Silver State Classic Challenge Inc.

Then Nebraska..... 55 miles!!!

Funny cause after I posted that I went and watched that. I miss the times when that movie came out. Best in the series. Nothing but movie of one liners...

This last weekend foxey and merself were playing darts and enjoying coronas and all I could think was;
"You can have any brew you want, as long as its a corona".
This she got sick of me saying it over and over...

We got something crazy like 50" last week at Stevens. Only got a couple inches in Marysville, but for March that's bizarre.

Just curious, is there any legal liability in selling a set of used tires? I will be buying a new set in a month or two because I had to repair the set I have on now and I can't track them because if the repair. But I thought someone might want to try a pair of AD08s with about 4/32 left. Or should I just scrap them and let the tire company discard them.

Haha I know tire shops sell used tires but they are corporations and have big insurance. I guess I'm affraid someone will track them and the patch fail. I know the plug won't last.

I just think it's a shame that there's tread on the tire and I have to throw them out. I need to get.a set of track rims and tires so I don't have to worry about this anymore. Maybe next year.
