If I could get another one, I would get a PS3..Only cause of their games.. Grand Tourismo was pretty cool when I seen it..
Jake, how much $ you want for your Wii, I may be interested. What accessories and games do you have for it? Being that I'm pretty much stuck at home...it would give me something to do. Let me know. Jody

How's that patty-wagon HHR treating you ?

As for the new web style...my iPhone doesn't have anything that looks different....maybe I'm not paying attention. Good to hear from ya !
Hi Chris...Thanks for asking. My health has really vone down hlll.. No insurance now so healthcare has become very expensive. They still have no exact diagnosis for me which means no treatment. I walk with a cane now (when I can walk) Got my toe in the door of county healthcare...god, what a cluster fruck!!!! but that's my onlh hope of getting a dianosis. I love the HHR, I'm currently saving for a mobility scooter(not cheap) since I don't have insurance but when I can get one, the HHR was a wise choice as it can handle a mobility scooter. I see there is an event on the 4th, that's my birthday,I won't be able to attend but im sending my ZEN with you, and all of you that participate...be safe and have a good time and great runs. Thanks again Chris for checking in on me. : ) much appreciated! Good luck all!

FUUUUG! I just went to order two more rs3's from discount direct and they are on backorder. Hopefully I can get them in before the autox on march 24th. Also, somehow they are $15 a tire cheaper than when I bought them a month ago.

That's too bad. I have a pair of practically new 285/35/18s that are just sitting in my closet. I'm going to use them.. but I need to burn off the R-S3s that are on my summer wheels first so I won't need these right away.

Ya part of me regrets getting my wheels in 17's because it's easier to find tires in good sizes in 18 but with 17's tires are just so much cheaper.

Im thinking about possibly getting another set of nt05's since they aren't too expensive and I can get them in 275/40-17. The tread depth on them is their biggest weakness though. That's what gives them such a crappy tread life.

Pat, I think those Nitto's aren't all that great...Are you gonna track & DD drive them ? ..... Because actually I think the Hankook V12's do much better and last longer.

I had a set of nt05's before and performance wise they were pretty good but not great. I haven't used the v12's but I'd be willing to bet the nittos grip better. The thing that got me was the life of the tire but I also daily drove on them about 500 miles a week and they lasted 6 months and a few autox's. I don't daily drive the z anymore. I really only use it to drive to Dallas and even then I sometimes take my truck. So the z only sees maybe a maximum of 1000 miles a month 95% highway. I'm still debating and am leaning towards just waiting til the hankooks are available again. I need to save some extra cash right now anyways and I'm getting a new phone so I dont wanna spend money on tires and that right now. I'll just rock my nt555's for now. I'm planning on going to the autox on march 24th with NTAXS if anybody is interested in going with me. My buddy is gonna be home from afghanistan at that time and he wants to go. He went to mineral wells with us once last year in his gray altima ser if you guys remember.

Nt05 didn't take heat very well either. They got pretty greasy if they got too hot.

seeing if anyone can answer my question. Should the slotted and drilled rotors be up front or in the rear? i picked up another bbk but they have it configured with the slotted only up front and slotted and drilled in the rear. should that be right or other way around since most of the braking is in front

Most of the braking is in front. I would have the slotted and drilled in front for better heat dissipation.
