6 EVO's in BSP so far for Sunday
IIRC last year we did the final event at boeing and we were getting "fun" runs at the end of the day.

 

chu- you wont be disapointed. and yea its a much more diverse bar haha.

about the union topic.. its easier said than done to break a union and kick them to the curb. all those dues add up. they got deep pockets and lawyers on retainer. its the sad truth of it.

i have always seen unions as almost ponzi schemes. the idea is to sign up as many people as possible to pay into the system. sure the workers are making stupid amounts of money compared to their non union counterparts, but the union delegates are getting cuts for bringing in people, and expanding the unions reach.

i will say it again, if philly wants to pay me 50k a year to drive a bus, ill move back tomorrow

 

matt, this guy i know that dropped out of high school took a job as a supply manager in one of the philly hospitals and is getting 50k/year. that's pretty much being a stock room manager at a store or parts manager for a shop.

 

Incase anyone is growing a money tree..

see that pisses me off. here i am with a college degree, and even when im working 50k would be a really great salary (restaurant management). i knew going into this that the money isnt great, but to know a less educated person working less hours is making that kind of money is aggravating.

for 100k they can keep it. rather have a 911.

 

I have a buddy with an MBA who is valet parking cars at Abington hospital. It sucks.

Chu, did you get your appointment at rt tuning. I am there now. Everytime I come here I always am happy I did because they're pretty helpful.

 

I have my appointment at 4 tomorrow Dan.

 

I'd come over (since i'm only about a mile away), but I'm stuck in my cube until 5:20pm.

 

maybe I'll see you on my way home again Brian.

Dan, I would swing by but I have a doctors appointment tonight that I have to run to right after work. Hope they get you squared away.

 

Ha, maybe . Did you get stuck in that traffic lasy Friday? It took me 30 minutes to get home (1.5 miles) .

 

My co-worker took 3 hours to get into work to our place in Philly today.

 

Don't worry about it Marc, I've heard a shot will clear that right up.


You stopping by on Sunday, or better yet running?

 

Reading a lot in the wheel, tire, suspension section. But besides Marc, who's running an alignment other than the OEM spec, and how are your tires wearing?

 

Might be able to track my car this weekend up north. Going to visit a buddy of mine at RPI. (troy NY). He said they are having a track day on Saturday at one of the raceways near there. Im on the backup list, hoping some people don't show up.

 

The camber is not what wears out tires, it is aggressive toe settings. So if you don't run too much toe out in the front you should be ok. I bet you could run -3 degrees camber in front without really doing much more damage to tires than lets say -2.5. It will make the car real darty, it will track all over based on road surface. You will have to pay more attention while driving then with a less aggressive alignment. With that said, I ran -3 for at least a year daily driving my car. That was prior to doing my own alignments, I think I was getting 5000 miles out of Falken Azienas.

BTW, you guys should learn how to do these alignments yourselves. It will really help in the long run if you are going to really get into autox. 10 years later I am finally learning. All you need is a couple tools that are not that much money. I have found doing my own alignment nets a much better result than paying someone to do it. Just My .02
