even after they called to apologized and reassured you that it was on the truck yesterday? that's actually shocking how inept they are.

No, I threw them out on 76.
No man there not in my truck, I am having so much fun loading and unloading them I did it again! Just come to my house to get them you live right near me. Remind me and I will bring them to next event, since the third time will be the charm.

Leaving for DC Pro tomorrow morning. Simmons has keg, someone brewed some special "Philly Region Brew" and I am bringing something nice that I will be buying shortly. Simmons has a beer pong table, it is a fold up so it should be quite the time in the party spot (where we park) tomorrow afternoon and night. Shame none of you guys travel, this event is always a good time. I know that the Pro style competition would really turn it up a notch for you guys, there's nothing like it. I will have some good videos of the launches, hopefully someone in my car can win some tires!

^ correct on both accounts.

I called them up @ 4pm yesterday and basically got the run around. The guy who I spoke with, Vinny, said he would get it straighted out and call me today. Big surprise I haven't heard a damn thing from them.

what really sucks is that had I known how ra-tarded they were I could have atleast ordered another bearing from mitsuparts.net so I could have had it installed by this weekend.

that's ridiculous.

btw what happened to the wheel bearing that needs to be replaced? too much use or did something cause it to go out?

I would love to travel, but it seems like a lot of hassle, while having no hope of being competitive (which is part of the fun).

what is Pro style?

I think it was just too much use. 107k miles so far and I've done my fair share of racing. Surprised it lasted this long honestly.

I'm surprised it lasted that long too with as many track days/autoxing you do. I think 107k on a DD would be a good amount for a wheel bearing.
