come on dave, Tom and I went out. Actually a lot of the guys drove their cars. There were 6-7 cars there besides ours.

Morries had a red GTR there with a 'market adjusted' price of just under $90k That car is awesome at 70-75k, but no way at 90. The red is my favorite color and will be my choice if and when I am able to buy one

Well, it was Tara that took the insurance coverage off while I was out of town. So I just detailed the heck out of the Z and put it away.

It'll be that much more fun next spring when I bring her back out.

19s? NOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What wheels and what offsets? The tire width is useless unless we know the offsets.

haha what's wrong with 19's? thats what is on my car now and that is what is on ben's car and i think that size is good i spose i'd be willing to go 18's but from what i've seen i like the 19's ... im open to suggestions though.. but im probably goin with the volk gt-7 im just lookin at what my options are for somethin a little less expensive... what do you guys think of axis wheels?

what offsets would you suggest? i know i sound like a nagging little kid im just tryin to get other opinions for a nice set of wheels... haha

Nothing wrong I guess. I like the GT-7s and some Axis wheels. I guess the offsets depend on the width. If you're thinking of doing 8.5 in front and 9.5 in the rear, then you could pull it off with the 245 up front.

I hate cold weather and head colds.

Looks like my day will be spent putting in a new window and just hanging out in the house. Woohoo...

What's everyone else up to?
