Sure looks like Aaron's car.

Yeah, it's funny how they had the GT-R in the middle of their area attracting all the moths to the flame. It wasn't roped off, but it was locked.

LMFAO!!! Ben I found your review on those tires on Tire Rack lol

wow did some price checkin on those Pole Positions and damn $1,210.05 just for the tires alone....

For the KDW2's $985.12

I don't think the tires he wants are the kind they're thinking of selling.

Well I know it includes RE050A Pole Positions, Kumho XS and KDW2's, I think they might even carry General's.

Good thing I'm not in the market for tires. Maybe I should jump on it anyway for spares. Because, you know, I have tons of room in my garage...lol

if i ran race gas and tuned for it i could get another maybe 15 hp or so. but thats expensive and its kinda hard to find unleaded race gas... if you run leaded after a while your o2 sensors will start to go. so if you have widebands it kinda sucks. plus if you get tuned for it you cant go back to pump gas. unless you have different maps setup on your car. all i have is the split second box for a tune so its not really an option.

I just remembered I have a friend who does custom audio and interior and who sells wheels/tires. I'm going to have to give him a call to see if they sell those kind of tires. I know he sells Nitto

Lol @ finding my review. I loved those tires. Great dry or wet traction and no sidewalk flex in corners. Stiff sidewalks ftw

I had a blue visitor today....

I spent most of today outside. Went to the gym this morning, then came back to clean up the yard, the garage, the van, and the sunroom. What a gorgeous day!
