Imho, meeting someone at the bar is about the worst place possible... not to say it doesn't happen - but I'm interested in meeting a woman, and dealing with an alcohlic/partier, is about as unappealing as meeting someone with the hiv

not worth my time. i'd rather meet someone through coffee or chance encounter. but then again i'm kinda set on finding someone who changes my world type of thing


Which is why I asked.

Unfortunately even though I re-wrote my EH test, I kept getting matched with fatties...
A little weight doesn't bother me, but the kind of woman who has to sand-bag the other side of her car to make sure it sits even, is most assuredly well beyond "a few extra pounds";
I'm not looking for a supermodel, but if there is zero physical attraction (or the site won't even let me see any pictures), then it's not worth my time.
Not to mention that on dating sites, women pretty much call the shots - so with myself not being the most "pushy" person... I think I tend to get forgotten rather quickly... which IMHO isn't my problem.

A funny one is CL

Just to swap rims or tires too?

Get a set of steelies next winter if you don't have them.

Acey,

What is wrong with the rotors? A machining would be cheap. Mine could use it too. Maybe we could get a discount with 8 of them.

but june 4th is the srt-10 dyno day! lol

did you see that they are between header production runs? and that 10 bucks off if you order it and it'll be shipped out by june 10th?

and a header is kinda useless unless you get a less restrictive downpipe. just saying

FYI a shorty raises power up top (and beyond what we rev to to make it really effective), a long tube is on the bottom end (and sounds awesome) and a turbo doesn't use a header. Just a manifold to it and downpipe off the turbo.

Cheap is fair enough though, it seems like a good deal for what it is. You'll probably still feel it down low due to less restriction itself though.
