pffft. you won't see my ass carrying testing bottles, only time I detune would be now or a decent temperature change, otherwise my **** should compensate for the small changes, but like now my car doesn't want to start on the first cycle so it is getting to be the e70 for the year..

anyone interested in some msr045? they in perfect condition with 2 chips in 2 of the rims(one in each) and no curb rash. always kept watched and clean. they are coming off the car next week. i want 550 with the bridgestones on there(they have about 3000 miles left on them). just rims alone 400 without the tpms sensors. and if you want the mcguard black lugnuts then add 60 bucks to it....all locking lug nuts and comes with the key.
the jewel osco in naperville when your headed towards 52, just past the overhead pedestrian bridge on rt59. has e85 pretty cheap too, i fill up for like $32.

gas cities corn was fine. and my tune is fine. the car runs perfect after its been driving for a few minutes i just hate the startup time and it was nowhere near this bad last year.

Yes but got'em for super cheap and made a purchase which is going to force my hand on lug swap. Guess I would need the lug nuts too. Pretty much would rock my 16s for winter and in spring use my star specs, new wheels, and powell bbk and lsj rears
dont you need a car first?

Next Meeting

Meeting place is about to change. Not sure where yet but tossing in a monkey wrench here. Stay tuned for updates, This may not be the best next month to do this as I will be going out of town the last week of the month but just stay tuned for our next meeting. The whole idea of this is to get this group growing again. Its time to move to new areas to meet new people.

Even though I don't have the Cobalt I should be able to make it. I haven't done much lately and I'm bored.

Should be at least 10 people or so. We have an event on facebook going, that has 6 people saying yes. And then I can think of some others who just aren't saying yes but are indeed going.
