You guys going on Friday? I'd like to join and just play.

Oh, and what size did we determine would be my next rear tires for the Z? I want to say 285/35/18 but they're hard to find when I prefer a certain brand. Was thinking of going to talk to the guys at Discount Tire by the Home Depot.

You getting new fronts too? Id stick with the same brand/model as the fronts if not. Mix matching can make for some "interesting" handling aspects.

I wasn't planning on getting matching tires for the front since they're in decent shape, but I was researching it last night.

My plan today is to go to Alexis Bailey Vineyard and pick up my wine, then go to the UofM for a robotics tournament. Also gotta take Devin to the Asian grocery store.

Took mine for a drive around AV yesterday. Almost pulled a Mustang meme when I goosed it too much at a turn. Tires must have still been cold.

Not that I get out much, but I don't know of any road up there that I'd want to drive at 170+mph. Everytime I think of anyone going that fast, I envision deer or other animals getting in the way and destroying the car.
