LOL @ deleted comment.

I set them up a while back so I don't remember the details, but getting infraction points reduces them for sure. Other things like deleting or editing or something of that nature probably reduces them as well. You gain points by being active, though, in various ways. It really means nothing, except maybe show how much time you spend/spent here, lol.

I will say this, though: being a Mod = more opportunities to earn more points. That also means I can usually tell which ones are actually Moderating and which aren't (cough cough ), not that I don't have access to a log of all the activities..

About a week or two after you get the Shockwave, I'll share some links to other baller exhausts. You can then sell me the Shockwave for cheap.

Southbound 35 around cedar springs, crested a hill traffic dead stopped... I stopped but guy behind me obviously couldn't, 94 Cherokee his left front hit my right rear. It could have been a lot worse I guess. The gas door isn't flush anymore, paint cracked along top of bumper by hatch opening...body lines aren't symmetric anymore....metal behind turn signal bent in

That really sucks, Travis. At least it's not your fault. I'm assuming you were able to get his or her information?

It'd normally depend on the offset, height, and alignment specs but you should be fine with your set up as-is.

I hope the 285s serve you well as they served me. My intention 2-3 years ago when I got my current 5Ziegen wheels were to run 285s all around, but +12 was way too aggressive of an offset, haha.
