I see our talk got you thinking.
you go boy.... why did you buy the $130 rays lugs (that are prone to heating up and sticking on the studs.) when you could have gotten away with normal open steels for $30? that extra 100 could have gone torwds something else...... but hey whateva. more power to you. you go boy.
looking forward to seeing your car on the track!
oh yeah, everyone else. Jesse will be there Sunday with us at the track driving someone elses car. (no not mine) so we will have another driver in BSP. :-)

heating up and sticking on the studs??????? i was not aware of this??!??!?! my philosophy was that if i was gonna go w/ lightweight lug nuts (for the unsprung weight loss
) that i should buy quality lug nuts... but i never heard about them being flawed

busy chatting in the autocross thread.
but yeah everyone else is pretty quiet. this is why we usually dont have a december meet. most people get busy, have plans, and dont have money.

as hard as it is to say, you should be thankful you got to say your goodbyes... i know it doesnt make things better, but i wish i would have know i was gonna lose her, cause there was so much i wanted to say but never got to
its interesting that people look down on me for not believing in "god" (so-to-speak).. but most dont realize that my mother killed herself, and if i did believe in the bible, then she would be spending an eternity in the firey depths of hell... so i choose to live my life religion free... in hopes that we just die and fade away.. and my mom isnt where the bible says she'd be
sorry... as stated above.. this is just really hard during the holiday season...... sorry about your loss detrich
