  1. I only bought these because at the time they only had 3 of my previous tires. Falken Ziex 512. I love them. I did like the T/A's at first, but now I'm really not liking them. They don't hold air worth two cents either. And they ended up costing more than I would've paid for the Falkens. What tire do you use? I'm not getting the T/A's next time I know that.
  2. Well...I'm mostly mad at myself. Coming home from work today I'm behind this chevy pickup going about 45-50mph. All of a sudden he swerves into the right lane for what seems no reason at all. Then, I see this white explorer stopped waiting to turn left. Since there is a car in the right lane next to me I have no choice but to slam my brakes on hard. Well, I stop fine. Only a few block up the street I'm speeding up to catch the green light. Now, at 60mph. It changes yellow. > Well, I can take this little side road to the left and bypass the light. (This light takes 5-7 minutes to change. Added with getting stopped by other lights ahead, this can add 15 minutes to my drive, NO LIE.) Well, I'm a little too far passed the left turn to do this. Well, at least now that I have OEM brakes back on the car. Added with the fact that I just slammed them on a second ago. I slam them on and turn. ABS goes nuts. The brake pedal goes to the floor. The car barely turns. And my right front eats the curb. Loud clunk. I knew right then that at least the rim was bent. And the tire is screwed. That gash is deep, but not leaking. I took it to Sears and luckily I did buy the road hazard protection. I only gotta pay Half of the price for a new one. $74.00 Still, I have a bent rim, not a terrible bend but still. I really didn't know how great my Cross Drilled/ Slotted rotors with those EBC Green pads were. They would've slowed the car down quick enough, even after that hard stop, to make that turn. I miss my old brakes :'( Hopefully I can get a single wheel replacement off ebay soon too.

  5. Lame. My FWD burnout FTW
  6. I had to work in a booth and do some crowd control, but I was able to take a few pics. Oh, and I have a freakin sunburn from being out there both days. Anyone here get to go??
  7. Got some new tips installed Yesterday. I only payed $40.00 for the set of tips from a guy on ebay.
  8. Driving for me. When I was stationed in San Diego I drove home on leave twice. Along with a third trip when I transferred back to Florida. I hate flying.
  9. Agreed. Once I move back home I'll have a total of 20 Acres. Paid for by me. I'm not leaving it nor giving it up because someone "thinks" I should. I paid the price for it and I like it that way.
  10. I really like the new Tahoe. Also liking th Audi Q7. As for a crossover. Uhhhh, I don't use that word. Let's see. *cough* STATION WAGON *cough*. Yeah that's better. I don't really have a favorite.
  11. Judging by the small shed-like things in each yard I think it's safe to say these houses are not on city water or sewer. Which means they can't be any closer. There's needs to be room for a septic tank and drain field for each house. As for people moving because of gas. I hope they do. More room for me out in the country I'm not much for the city.
