Like I said, they have designated uniform inspectors that walk around all day and night checking uniforms. Pathetic. Its all politics. Their trying to make this base into a permanent party base. We aint leaving Iraq for at least 15 - 20 years.

See I just bought a set of LE37t ... and want to get the faces powdercoated in gloss black since Volk is not importing the gloss black ones in a offset that will fit the EVO =(
I dont care if it takes two weeks but I just want a place that will go a good job, not get it on the polished lip, and at a good fair price.

- 3rd run launching with no launch control= 12.6 @110 still spinning but at least keeping the car straight.
-4th and final run again with no launch control= 12.5 @111 again spinning but managing to cut a 1.8 60ft. Last two runs I also did a burnout.
Running with the stock rims and tires did no good for traction, especially with the launch control, but at least I improved 2 tenths from my best time. If I could get slicks, the launch control would definitely kick ***. Your record is safe for now Vegasboy until I can get some tires, or when summer comes around.
