It looks like it's just raining at the moment. The winter advisory is up until noon..I think we are suppose to be getting sleet though. I sure hope we don't get any of this as I have to drive for work..well if it gets bad enough I won't even go to work.

i came back to some new rear wheels, same ones i had just +15 on the offset, so my current rears (+23) are going to the front... will be 9.5 on all corners now and will throw a 5mm spacer on the fronts to essentially make them +18

That's what happened to me after being in CA and AZ in October. It was warm when I left here too. I was cold in CA at first.

Just was weird leaving here when it's hot and then coming back and it's cold haha.

Oh, my bolts must have slipped earlier because I noticed my alignment is way off now. I floored it and I guess with all the weight on the back I could feel it drifting, and then the steering wheel was off. I'm going tomorrow morning for alignment though, and I'm sure they will tighten them down better. I was just ready to be done when I tightened them I think.

I'm also a fan of snow, and you can drift without worrying about tires. I miss the frozen lake racing up north the most.

It snowed here a couple of times already. And just the other day the rain suddenly turned into hail haha.

Yeah, still in Korea and will be here until mid-December. Girls here are really skinny (overweight chicks are a rarity) and most of them dress really well, too -- lots of eye candy. This probably goes without saying but the Korean chicks here > Korean chicks in the States, by far. While there's a lot of hot girls, many are also fake as hell, as in they're products of plastic surgery. Still, they're very nice to look at.

Travis, where did you get the wheels from ?
And are they MB Battles ? I'm not sure what you did by swapping them from front.

Do the rears sit out a bit more now as well as the fronts ?

Were you using spacers ?

Why don't you keep those for AX wheels ?
