The other is an actual Sparco driving glove thats like $150. Too expensive

gonna go back to the doctor one more time tomorrow. Hopefully after that, ill be at 100% again. It doesn't hurt as much as before, but i still cant seem to walk correctly. Still sorta limping everywhere. Not sure whats wrong.

Purple All Sectors · 11-20-2008, 03:12 AM

does it hurt when you drive?

Purple All Sectors · 11-20-2008, 03:13 AM

that high tech tire gauge, where did you see that? i like that one. where can i buy?

LOLrance · 11-20-2008, 03:14 AM

not at all anymore. But after a long day of sitting in traffic getting to El Monte, then having to take Valley all the way back, i noticed my leg is getting a bit sore right now. Not sure if thats just the stuff the doctor gave me wearing off or if i put too much stress today sitting in stop and go traffic.

Purple All Sectors · 11-20-2008, 03:15 AM

been trying to find distributors for accu tire gauges, but it seems like they all only carry the one i have, not the racing gauge. i guess buying online is the only way.

Purple All Sectors · 11-20-2008, 03:33 AM

mike can get free shipping on amazon. ill call him in the morning. i have 15 hours to make the dead line to get the tire gauge on fri.
