^^^ Good point. I've been shoping around on there quite a bit and like you said most come here for the weekends, or are more than willing to meet you half way. Kris if you can't post them for sale on NorCal I'll be more than happy to do it for you.

Thanks for the advice Hee, I think I'll try that. Thanks to you as well Tripp. I'll take some more pics (of the wheels themselves) and create an account over there. Maybe I'll be able to post a sale thread. If not I'll definately let you know.

So where ya moving to?

Sorry, I missed your post.

The PDX = performance driving experience, it's not timed and is basically a driving school on track with an instructor to sit with you. It's $200 due to late registration, otherwise it would have been $175 if signed up by Wed. Check-ins start at 7a, driver meeting and novice classroom at 8a, but the PDX isn't scheduled to run until 1p. In case you want to meet up, I'll pm you my cell.

NP man. Let me know. We're actually moving off of Sky Valley Rd (think thats it) off of McCarren. Its actually closer to school for me and closer to work for my GF. Its also 100 sq. ft more and we'll have our own washer and dryer . Small to most, but a big upgrade for us

Thanks for the offer man! I'll give you a call. Neuspeed is going to be helping me along with my Dad, so we should have the heavy stuff covered. The less beer I have to buy the better jk.

Now is it just me or have we been having a lot of earthquakes lately? Is this normal for Reno or something that just happens every once in a while?

Did you feel that last night? In all my 20 years of living here, it was the first time feeling an earthquake. I'm hoping there isn't a really big quake brewing in the area.

I felt 3 last night. That big one was a 4.9 that was centered just 15km from downtown Reno. My Dad's only been here 8 years, and hes told me about maybe 2 or 3 that hes felt, but nothing this bad. I did read on a news site that theres one supposed to be hitting the bay area (7.0 or larger) and they're calling it the hurricane Katrina of San Francisco. Not trying to scare anyone just repeating what I've read.

I'm not counting all of those from 4/26 but it looks like at least 50 earthquakes since midnight. The ones in the middle of the night last night shook me out of my drunken stupor.

If a bigass one is coming, I hope it waits til monday so we can all get some time off work

^^^ Good way to look at it. Has there ever in the history of recorded time been a huge earthquake here in Reno? Just from what my Dad has told me these are some of the first that are actually happening in NV, and not just ones that happened in California and feeling it here. Yet again hes only been here for 8-9 years though.

Not that I know of. The Loma Preata (sp?) one in SF 1989 was felt pretty hard here. I remember **** getting knocked off our shelves. Cant recall any bad earthquake here at least in my almost 30 years of living here.
