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.

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.

Thanks guys. That's in Northwest Florida. I'm from a town called Chipley. Thanks for the sig compliment too If you click it, it takes you to my cardomain page

Lame. My FWD burnout FTW

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??

Yep. But now I'm at 131,000.

Got some new tips installed Yesterday. I only payed $40.00 for the set of tips from a guy on ebay.

Rifle

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.

Travel

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.

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.

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.

Seems like this little guy made himself at home. I went there this weekend and there's an Armadillo. He's not scared of us at all. Much less the cat. He doesn't try to attack. Just minds his own business searching for stuff to eat. I thought it was awesome to get this close and take pics.

Suprisingly I'm averaging 19 in the city here in florida. 24/7 A/C usage.

At this speed I don't really mind it that much. This is the average at 80mph for 120 miles. What do most 4 bangers get at 80 mph?? $3.19/gal is still crap though.. >

I highly doubt there's a good reason to hijack any thread if it means no harm.

Is it just me or has this thread been hijacked to the max?! Did the RWDM get this much crap? I say this thread should be deleted and someone make a new one.

I'm really likin the Challenger concept as wel. Even did a little Photoshop work to the pic. Black w/white stripes. All black:

E85 is a poor excuse for us to not use our own freakin' oil supply. Isn't Venezuela paying like $0.12/gallon???

Looks nice. I really like the silver color.

I don't mind it being FWD when it's this sexy.
