Now you can get away from the runflats.

The problem is, no one around here stocks our size of tire.

Just fix my bumper a little. We did Steve's rear brakes. Its $240.00 by check, or $247.00 by paypal. Most are around $300.00.

We will leave here Thursday afternoon, and drive to Willows.

Wow, I get to spend my B-Day in Willows.

Dude, this is case & point on why you need to spring for the Venom NO2 kit (which CMS happens to have in stock). When someone yells at you like that, you send a plume of condensed NO2 over the windshield & yell back "whatchu' talkin' bout Willis!?" It's worked for me.

No, no...I'm laughing right there with you. Just the visual plume alone is enough to spook R32's & Evo's away. I'll use it within the next couple of days with the good doctor. I'm sans vehicle until the new rotor comes in. In fact, Jill has to go to the Carmel office tomorrow & since I don't have a ride, I get to come to the office at 6:45am. So...note to TSW: "sooner rather than later." <j/k>

Don't really care at this point as long as they are 205 or 215 , 45 or 40, 17's and cheap. I was planning on getting Hanakook Z212 at the end of this month but i'm taped out untill then. So we'll see how much the wife tells me I can spend.

Depends on when we get back. Looking at the thread, several people are going. My MINI isen't in shape for this show, so if I go, I will park outside.
