That's what I was thinking. I am not going to spend that much on wheels.

That is what's paying for my wheels and more. I should be able to pick up my check some time towards the end of this week.

Once I hired my lawyer it took almost 4 months for me to reach a settlement. I am taking a little vacation to Reno in a few weeks.

Once I get back I will have some parts waiting for me to install.

That quote does seem a little high. Most of the time it should be anywhere from 2500-2800.

I have seen some wheels that I like from the classifieds, I just have to wait until I get the cash in my hand. Shipping shouldn't take too long. I better have wheels before the meet at the end of the month.

I finally got my windows tinted on Saturday so I am that much closer to getting my car where I want it.

Next is different exhaust, wheels, and maybe the injen cai, but i'm not sure about that.

Just go to California and you will see. They have it where a bunch of roads come together and they are all merging into only 3 lanes, plus there are traffic lights and stuff. Plus there are just so many people out there driving around.

They have what I call the circles of death

in tight parts of the city they have those round abouts where people are getting on and others trying to get off - it is nothing but a big cluster fu#k

Like the circles in France and England? I know what you're talking about. It'd be chaos if one of those circles were built here.
