it was good, although star specs in rain don't work so well at highway speeds. I was hydroplaning all over the ******* place. almost lost it around Turnagain arm. Scared the **** out of me...the *** end just jumped out at around 70mph. Definitely made my butthole pucker a bit.

lol those days of drifting around your neighborhood might have come in handy there. Did any other evos go? I spotted a blue 8 that some girl was driving, dont think that car is on the forums.

I've never been able to get it to work, but I have so much crap on my car disabled I don't think the car could throw a cel if it tried.

Thanks Ancho Rage

I got it to work, just had to up the timeout amount.

I think its too cold now to tune, I'm thinking I'll just drive it around and put some miles on it till next year. This is my last year as a fully registered car, going seasonal after this month.

State farm will still let me drop my coverage down to just comprehensive during the winter if I want, you don't need seasonal tags for that. (At least with state farm you don't) I usually don't daily it in the winter but I want to be able to drive it if I like. Can't let these all-season tires go to waste can I?





(Yeah I know they are not as good as true snow tires, but they do surprisingly well.)

I have Progressive, and they are cool with dropping me to comp as well but its my bank who gives me ****. So i have to fill out this "lay up waiver" each year that allows me to drop below state min or whatever, and a seasonal tag helps that process go smoother and i have a Jeep for the winter. State Farm is a great INS company they have good customer serivce.

even if another insurance company would give me better rates, I doubt they would be low enough for me to change from state farm, i love them to much.
