The "news" here is that even in simple high school football, it is so much more dangerous than people thought with real, physical effects long after play has stopped. Not you're joints are achy or you have a bad knee or something, that your brain is literally being turned into mush and people who should otherwise be healthy are becoming depressed, turning to substance abuse, and in extreme cases suicide. The common denominator for a lot of these people were they were ex football players and likely suffered from CTE

Carwashing 411. Touchless and automatic car washes use bulk chemicals that are caustic and can ruin a soft clearcoat like BMW's in very little time. Touchless washes never remove all of the dirt from the vehicle because of the lack of physical rubbing or wiping that will remove dirt from the paints surface. When the vehicle is pulled out from the tunnel wash an attendant wipes down the half washed car with a towel and thats when scratches and marring show up on a car. Soft cloth washes are no better because the cloth is rinsed after a car is washed but it will still be dirty, then its used on the next car in line. Some handwash shops will reuse buckets of water and wash mitts which also hurts the vehicles finish. I personally recommend finding a good handwash shop and ask them to use fresh quality mitts, towels, and buckets for the wash.
Every car we wash gets fresh tools to do the job. This way you guarantee a scratch free wash. Washes are a get what you pay for service in my opinon.
Hopefully this helps everyone. I have thought about offering you all a detail class in the future to show you the proper detailing methods. Thoughts?

Seth dont sweat it, after your detail we will go over aftercare and proper maintance. For me its all about proper education. Its alot more than wax on wax off, its about different paints, chemicals, and so on. After seeing my shop you now understand why Im so meticulous (anal) about the details.

Brian I like the wheels. What do they weigh?

[BTM]

According to WSTO blog

Weights:
18 x 9.5 ~ approximately 17~18 lbs
18 x 10.5 ~ approximately 18~19 lbs

I'd be getting 18x8.5 18x9.5...only thing that throws me off is low pressure cast but if the price is right I know that the TC-II were the same thing and plenty of people ran them...BBS also has plenty of strong LPC wheels

Its one thing for you to decide to drive fast or speed or play sports yourself, but unless you are in a no win situation anyway (ie welfare/gangs/ghetto) there are few parents that will let their children suffer.

So, what is the future of sport? Is it a culture of sport played only by the less priveleged...moreso than it is today, because they are "expendable"? Or do the sports become safer from the ground up? However, how do you make football and boxing in particular safer? Even if you eliminate the helmets and the pads, I can recall playing 11 on 11 full contact tourneys and delivering some bone jarring hits. I never got hurt but I hit people hard enough to break collar their bones, give them concussions, separate shoulders and even to the point where I was out on my feet and didn't know really anything for a few plays other than find the guy with the ball and kill him.
