Your car was down...so unlike you. Anyways, I'm working like crazy. Got my suspension in, thanks for taking my call and giving your feedback Pete. I just got to Cali an hour ago, and about to drive to Covina to visit the Super Autobacs store? Anyone need me to pick up something for thing? lol. If anyone is looking for winter tires, I have an almost brand new set mounted on some ogged VIII wheels. Everything rebalance and was all straight. Shoot me an offer if you think oyu need them. hahaha.

You may want to look into nokian hakkapaletta RSi tires..I went though blizzacks, artic alpines, and theese nokians, the nokians are by FAR the best in the snow and still behave on the highway as well..
I used to be so hardcore about diving in the snow that I would drive to where the snow was if there was none near my house lol

The only time they get a little squirmy is when it's kind of warm and the road is wet.



Chuck, your funny... Srsly though, I'd like to check out the new set-up.


Well like i said lets get a meet goin.. or just all plan on being at the Oaks one night SOON..

Were you able to get anything going last night?

We did Oaks on Tuesday's during the summer, and they were hopping most weeks. Plus, it gets dark by 5:30 these days which doesn't make for good weeknight meets.

We are due for a "Holiday" meet here soon, but that will probably be on the weekend. Hopefully you can make it out to that.

I would be up for a post Thanksgiving day meet if anyone wants to organize it. I have such bad luck with the weather when I do the organizing...as we all know! Maybe Art Museum on Black Friday since everyone else will be at the mall?

^ That may work... I don't know if my significant other has already made plans for me though. That day is always a cluster f*** with everyone off from work. All the moms and daughers are out and about, reeking havoc on the roadways.

On a side note, how was Cali?

Pete, you can't let her make plans for you buddy! I don't know how marriages work, but that can't be it, or I'm never doing the deed.

On other news, Cali was very nice. Nice weather the few days I was there, and Super Autobacs was only 10 mins away from where I was staying, so I made 2 visits. They have all kinds of stuff, and prices are really not outrageous like everyone claims. Met a really cool Evo owner who worked there, gave me a ride in his APR widebody 8, and 15% off my total purchase. Didn't buy much, but it was very kind of him.

Petey Turbo...I got your Squash freshener buddy. Hope its the right one at least! Free tune when i get cams? lol

Yeah bishes... picking up a used BR Deluxe this weekend... no idea when I'll get it on though.

Chu, as far as I know that day is open for me so... and they can work that way, but mine doesn't, I got a good one.

Let me know when you want to meet up to get it. You have my number, so give me a call. I'll be leaving for Maryland tomorrow, but will be back by Friday night.
