nice tire threads frank i got some of those put on a few days ago , they look great

L8APEX

yeah, they look pretty cool, too bad that IMO they are the worst tires I have ever owned. But for some reason, everyone else loves 'em.

SilverEIGHT

It keeps the tires from getting flat spots while stored for the winter? Or is that temporary?

The tires as in those BF g-force's that he has on there now? Or are you talking about the stock Potenza's? I was planning on getting the g-force's once my Potenza's wear out.

UFGator12

Oh ok that makes sense now. I guess living in GA I don't see that too often. And I am glad that I don't know what that looks like. Ha, I'll take this hot weather anyday.

No kidding. Sad to say, that storm convinced me not to get the MS body kit... I was plowing enough snow as it was with just the lowered suspension. My wife rolled her eyes seeing that, wondering what the point was, but then right after that we bought her a lowered IS300 ...

Thank you mine are new too...



And as soon as there is snow coming I'll be out there taking pictures 'cause right now I think we'll have a christmas with no snow because tonight and tomorrow it's suppose to have icy rain

L8APEX

yes, the BF tires, IMO they suck. Not that much grip, and loud as all hell. It ruined my driving experience for the better part of a year. There are plenty of tires out there, that are better, quieter, and less $$. But that is my opinion. And I am on my 5th set of tires, so I have driven a few different ones.


Sorry, not trying to hijack Silver's thread.

ok i know most of you have seen this pic before, but right now there is no snow in chicago! so its from last year! oh, and driving in the snow is a BLAST!!! as much as i dislike the cold, when it snows its actually warm feeling. and youve never heard a quiet like the quiet of a good blanket of snow (im not kidding!)

SilverEIGHT

Howdy Red, I knew I could count on you. VERY NICE! I have not seen it.

L8APEX

I remember that picture, i really liked it last year, still like it this year.

howdy RSD, how ya been?

RedSheDevil

howdy howdy my warm weather friends!!! its been weird up here. really doesnt seem like christmas at all. 55 degrees and rainy. i always vote for a white christmas! this whole green lawn thing with the christmas lights is confusing my brain!! of course its because i bought the gianormous beast of a snow thrower this year that we arent having any snow (only one storm so far).

i dont think i could move to a warm climate, as i really dig the change of seasons.

does a beast/shedevil pic count as winter???

RX-GR8

holy smokes that blower is huge! mine is half that size and the wheels are tiny. lol

RedSheDevil

^ yea my neighbors all have little ones too. when the storm hit i was out there for the first time ever with that thing. it was a disaster! the chute blew open and it was blowing the snow all over me and the areas i had just cleared. no, there are no pics of that!!!

the beast (as it is now known) also has 6 forward speeds (!) and 2 reverse!!!

L8APEX

it's bigger than you...I want to contact your neighbors, and tell them to take pictures of you fighting with it the next time it snows. those would be funny.

RX-GR8

i got mine after last winter so i haven't tried mine yet. 1 forward speed and reverse is walk backwards. oh and it's electric. you know you're getting old when that happens.

RedSheDevil

there will be no pics ... EVAR! and im surprised it doesnt make cappuccino too!

SilverEIGHT

It's about the size of my tiller and my wife uses it to till our garden every year!

That's cute Red, it matches your car.

Pete

dmp

Nice pics dmp. The color is really clean in the second one. What did you do to get the light balance or did you do it in ps.
