Tickets are like $70-80 and the flight is like $65 so i figure why not? I think Jens going to come by at some point and have Steve put those M7 STR plates. How much installed?
No charge for install. Does she want the black or polished ones, as it makes a difference.
Or will she decide when she sees them.
I would go the the game

I was there once when it was going on, but wasen't able to go. I hated it, since a lot of 49ers were playing.

How much is each? she will most likely decide when she gets there but if theres a huge price difference then she will take the cheaper of the two.

Yea i figure how offten do i get out there during the pro bowl so i might as well go.

It won't be cheap, but it's going to be a complete system and not just a longer shaft or extension.

Is it a normal shift pattern, or did they make a ratcheted system?

Well thats good to know that its going to change the shift point, then you wont have to worry about the stress on it as much.

We put more than 25,000 on them. Remember, we put over 8,000 on MTTS.

Steve said he has 31,000 on his right now, he just looked it up.

Remember, I have 63K miles and I've owned the MINI for 18 months at the end of this month. I will go through tires quite often at that rate. I don't think I will get the same mileage out of the new Falkens, though. The wear rating is 200 which seems rather low. Should be sticky, though.

I wouldn't worry about tires and rims untill you wear these ones out. No need to spend the money on something you don't need yet.

I looked at these last time, but the price wasn't as good back then.
