Yeah, I made a point not to drive by my place. Didn't want to leave a chance for him to check later if he felt like it, for some reason. I'm really just trying to figure out what made it worth it for him to waste that much time. If it was to try and race or something like that, I figured he would have stopped after the first time I repeated the loop. If it was road rage... still figured he would stop, but that's something not worth dealing with. Never know what those people will do. I know I passed him twice, but I never cut him off or anything. His lane changes and turns were much more aggressive/dangerous than my passing, so not really sure what his problem was.
Another time I had someone follow me off 410 on to vance jackson, through the back way to callaghan, and all the way to my block... i didnt realize he was following until the turn off of callaghan, I let him follow me all the way to the deadend, where i flipped a bitch and was facing him when he turned onto my street.... staring right him, he turned around and left... i followed him, he got pissed and accelerated out there quick lol

Funny,
I got on 281 this afternoon and was passing traffic and when I got near a 3, he must have seen me and started driving aggressively passing cars on their left then right. Whipping around them really... then got off at 1604.
I didn't know J was doing everybody's brakes. I brought my car in last week to check out an oil leak and then switch to 0W-40.. They found out my brakes were down to 15% so I got them done too. Now they squeal a lot.

I doubt I can get him to do mine for me all by himself but I'll give it a try. Where did you get yours done?

This is pretty loud. I have had new brakes do that a little for a while before but not like this.
Well I guess it now compliments the squeak in the steering wheel....

Its a metal on metal squeal ... probably dust of initial wear.
On aircraft we use to do High Speed brake burn-ins after installing new brakes. Now with carbon brakes we don't do that. I think we got the brakes so hot they melted and vaporized the brake dust.
I think I am going to burn in these brakes when I get a chance but there is so much traffic around here I am going to have to take a trip out of town to do it.

Not sure if anyone's interested, but figured I'd mention it...

Could use a little cleaning up in a few places but generally looks pretty good (from the pics, at least).

It's okay but I have seen better deals. There is an immaculate Turbo II with a ton of high quality mods here somewhere for not much more than that one.

can't believe they're having that show on mother's day...ugh...fail. I might be hitting this up tomorrow though,info is at http://www.rileystavern.com/ and all proceeds go to JDF (I'm a type 1 diabetic myself) so I'm thinking I might try and hit it up. I might have mentioned it before, but this site has lots of shows/cruise info - www.motoraustin.com
