Well I was back down there today for soem more mods. There was soem donuts and coffe left from saturday. Eric said the coffee was not bad and I had a donut and that sugar really prerserves them donuts nicely.

The question is? How can the chocalte frosting still be gooey after 2 days?

Performance tip of the day:
To combat inner rear tire wear(negative camber) overinflate your tires to 60psi and drive around corners really fast. This will even out the tire wear. :smile:

<< Try to keep the frosting out of the bearings though; too sticky for good lubrication.>>

Are you kidding? I heard the "Secret Sauce" solved Caddman's slippage problems.
