I dunno if I would race. I have the rack on my car since I'm picking up my kayak tomorrow. I feel it would greatly slow me down if they even let me race with it on

 

Actually scrap that idea. I won't be able to make it to the track in time.

 

YEA!!!

JC called me back - the alignment is all done & ok!!

So Nathan's car donated it's first pat to mine ~ and in a round about way saved me some money!
(I was a little worried about getting anotehr call telling me that either something else was discovered as benig damaged, or this strut as being NFG)

Mental note #1:
Don't turn ESC off, and plow into any more curbs

Mental note #2:
Put winters on, arrange to drop off wheel(s) for repair

Mental note #3:
Find replacement tires NOW!!

 

How are the tires on that car you bought?

 

I bought it almost a year ago... they were toast, and toast-er...
he threw all the tires in in cluding the stock conti's which had virtually zero trade showing...

I have one new OE Conti I picked up last summer, and a lead on three more... *fingers crossed*;
otherwise it's looking like I'll be going with Tire Rack - I've narrowed my choices down to two types (in the stock size that is ~ I hadn't even thought of looking for a set of 235's!)

I have my winters (which are nearly shot), and my drag radials I could run

EDIT:
I have also some other pairs of 225/40/18's and 235/40/18's... but then it comes down to cost of mounting versus how long they will last... (they're all in some degree of worn-out-ness)...

we'll see...

last month my property tax blew any assemblance of a budget right out hte window... so I'm trying to play catch up atm...

anyone want to buy one of my Grand Am's?

 

Lethbridge festivities will be thrashed by wind... calm and sunny all week, then right now the wind is 60 gusting to 80. All the fancies are still out though, couple R8's... 5th Camaro owners must be upset that there's now roughly 1,000,000 new Camaros in Lethbridge... no longer a special car at all.

 

soooo many camaros in leth. its not even funny.

 

acey. do you still have the box your highrise came in??? ive tentatively sold mine and i cant find a box to fit it in.

or at least do you remember how it was wrapped and stuff

 

And relatively few 5.0's despite being a better car. Meh.

^^ My high rise wasn't boxed, came in a bag, then a layer of bubble wrap over that, then another bag over that. Worked alright.

 

kk i might have to do that. i dont remember how mine came. im nervous about shipping it just in bubble wrap for some reason

 

...and I'm getting written up for tickets as we speak. 70 in a 60 (Wtf) and tint. Dude in a Challenger did a burnout right in front of the cop but he didnt do anything, then pulled me over. LOL. My plan to lay low failed.

 

that sucks

 

They didn't give me a tint ticket. Just the 10 over, good I guess. I took the way home that had the least possible chance of seeing a cop. What I don't get is why they're wasting time with me way out on 43 St when they could park on Mayor and have a field day with far more lucrative stunting tickets.

 

Your not in a retro-classic muscle car. They think your a punk who thinks his 4 banger is the end all and be all of cara! Lol welcome to the real world of fwd! Lol

I get that all the time.

 

Yeah. Not fun. Hit the rev limiter for the first time today, the noise surprised me cause I didn't think the tune even had one. 7,200 for sure, says the Interceptor.

 

Liquor store 3 blocks from my house, I need some vodka to drink myself to death, surely I can make it there unscathed! Not so!



Forget tuning, I've got the REAL Trifecta.

He's like if we stop you again tonight, I'm towing your car. I'm like dude... go away, you're stalking me. Failure to signal leaving the liquor store, and tint.

 

wow!

Dude that sucks!

probably found a local to hound... since this is a HUGE revenue weekend for Lethbridge - both the Police and community businesses...

sorry to hear about that man...

 

Wow. I can't believe they nailed u for not signalling out of a parking lot. There bigger fish to fry than that

 

Discrimination! I'd show up in court and say he was being unprofessional

 

So jon. Did u end up going to lethbridge or are you still in Calgary.

Could we could meet at 1 tomorrow to get everything sorted out for the tune?

 

Fight the tint. Say the cop gave u a warning on the first ticket and you didn't have reasonable time to get it taken off

 

He was in the liquor store parking lot and followed me out I guess. I didn't see him.



lol LRPS like Thor cause they layin the hammma

Good idea.

 

dude, call discrimination and fight that. that cop is an *******, my dad even thinks so. say he was harassing you or something

 

Ha-ha!

I said I wouldn't go so that we could meet up...
what ever you saved me some gas money

I just re-read the posts from a couple days ago;
I think somehow I mis-read your post #19,430;
so if you read the posts on page 778 I said I would just hang around here...

If it's any consolation Jordan called me up earlier to see if you had stopped by...
The boy nearly woke me up from my idiot-box-inspired nap...

Ah yes... Tivo, I love you - I haven't had TV for a while now, but I still can watch as though I do!

I'm glad you can joke about it;
were I in your shoes I would not be in a joking mood;
I would sooner goober something up than get ticketed...
I have found myself pretty much loathing cops.



I'm with junior.

 

when they always pick on the nicer looking cars how can you not loathe them?
