You know it Ever, I'm tired of my 245/45 rubbing the wheel wells away. The only reason I will get them at AT is they offer free balance and rotation.

Leo, what rims are you getting?

That's such an obvious setup for a "that's what she said."

Rims are going to take some time to ship as are the tires, should have them sometime next week.

Anyone want a stock rim? I think I have one that's not curb rashed >_<

I'll pass Mrs. Dick the information... too bad she cant drive a manual. If someone can drive it up here this friday, around 3ish, I can take you back down. I'll be headed to SJ at 5pm from the office.

I don't know if I'm going to be here in the bay area or in LA this Friday. I'm supposed to be in Irvine today but other people at work are holding the whole thing up and keeping me from doing my job. It's pretty lame because i have family i want to visit and it'd be nice to be able to tell them if I'm going to be there this weekend or not.

I can't believe I'm going to be able to expense a road trip down highway one. So awesome.

be in that exact parking space at 7pm PST sharp. It will sink into the ground on a hydrolic lift and let you into our secret lair.

PS: Make sure to back into the space or it won't work.

Finished scrubbing in my tires last night by taking a run up and down old calavaras. Turns out all that roadwork going on was to re-pave a single corner, and several curbs. Isn't that fantastic!

My final verdict on the Falkens now that I've pushed em a bit harder, A+ Stupid amounts of grip and predictable response. I was confidently able to give a lot more throttle on corner exits then I would have been able to with the stockers.


PS: Looks like I'll be in norcal on friday. I'll show up to the meet.

Angie is fail at driving a manual. Don't worry though, we're going to buy her a RHD FD from the UK once she gets here. She'll learn, or die in the process. IN which case I get a free car and however much her life insurance policy is. I think 100k, which isn't bad.

Wherever the car ends up being, I'll have Angie come down and prepare it to be shipped. It has to be cleaned and everything needs to be taken out cept for the registration and insurance.
