edit: also i meant to sit in your car at the meet...trying to figure out what i want to do for gauges and i haven't ever sat in one with pillar gauges to see how much of my view they'd actually block

As a fellow owner and DD Evo, I highly suggest getting good tires over all seasons. Tires make such a huge difference on how a car handles. A second set of wheels can be found very cheap here on these forums, and $800 lands you a brand new set of blizzaks for the winter time. I've had a set of *-spec Dunlop D101's that have seen multiple track days. They have a treadwear of 180 and held up for the 2nd year now with plenty of tread left. What you need to look at is treadwear on the sidewall of the tire. With a proper factory alignment and a light foot tires can last awhile on these cars. anything above 160 will last awhile depending on driving habits.

Just wanted to give a little update on the billiard season.

As a team captain for one of the 7 regional teams that qualified for the 2011 national championships in Las Vegas I have been given a VIP pass to tonights billiards event at the Garage.

Multiple time national singles champion (Female division) and currently ranked in the top 5 of the world, Jaenette Lee will be in Seattle as part of her national tour to raise funds for her charity.

With the invite I have a relatively good chance of getting to play against her in a match for charity! Probably wont win (or get her phone number), but its an honor to play against one of the best pool players in the world.

argh, i hate choosing tires. they need a test-drive simulator so i can see which i like most (quietest...)

I'm either going with the Nitto Invo's or Continental ExtremeContact DWS in 245/40/17..

ah, let me know sometime for sure. I don't think it blocks much at all. I can't stand those window visor pieces that keep the rain out while your windows down. Those block much more visibility IMO.

Yes, that is her. She started playing at 18 and was ranked #1 in the world by 22 years old. Crazy!

Sadly, I didnt get to play against her, however I did get two signatures. One for the team, and one for me. (Fair disclosure: Didnt ask for her phone number as she is married and has 6 kids)

If you live in connell and went to Portland you drove over 4 hours and it was more than 1/2 tank. But the other problem is wildhorses casino is in pendelton ore. But you will figure out where your at someday
