just put some garbage bags over them. That reminds me I'm going to claybar my car today

Greg, damn you! lol I had the claybar kit for jooooooo!!!!!!!!

I thought about garbage bags over the tires. We'll see it if works. I normally use the leaf blower to clean out the excess water, but I don't feel like my wheels need cleaning since I've put less than 10 miles on them since last weekend.

So who's going to Elite tomorrow? I might.

I'm an old fart... thanks for reminding me, Eric.

I don't go to Uni, but I will some day. Are there any safe, cool, friendly places to hang out down there? Maybe Hamline University? lol

the few times I have gone, I only stopped at firestone when my buddy was part of the subie crowd. Other than that, don't really stop much, maybe drive through food mart if my other buddy is with.... all in all, I don't really frequent uni much, maybe went once or twice last year

That's about as often as I go, and I normally like to drive through it. Maybe it's safer during the day. I'd go during the day if we were stopping at a Vietnamese restaurant. lol
