I think what intrigues me is the different mixes of training that the fighters have. You could be the jiu jitsu master of the universe, and if you can't get the other guy to the ground, you can be seriously fucked. It's just kinda interesting to see these fighters go after each other with different styles, and you honestly never know who is going to win. It is much less predictable than boxing (except for the Shamrock/Ortiz trilogy).

I'd get too pissed

Getting punched in the face is much more pleasant than trying to fight off an armbar. Getting choked is probably the best way to go because you know if you hang in there too long, you'll just pass out, probably foam at the mouth and twitch a little, and wake up with a simple headache and maybe some bloodshot eyes. Armbars are a bitch because you can feel it about to snap but you don't want to be a pussy and tap unless you have to.

And as far as cauliflower ear goes, I had a couple friends out in SD who were serious about fighting and did fight on circuits. One of them had the nastiest cauliflower ear I've ever seen, and he got it drained like twice a week just to make it bearable. But he still pulled mad chicks.

getting your ear drained.... that pretty sick

I get my LET flash tomorrow!

I'm so giddy, I can't wait. Hopefully there won't be much traffic on the way home from Plainfield!

Looks like I will be getting my new rims in time to enjoy them for a few months too! Thanks to Julius and Frank over at WheelSto for putting up with my waffling back and forth. More importantly, thanks for following up and alerting me to a great deal when it presented itself!

Front: 19 – 8.5 +35
Rear: 19 – 9.5 +30

Mercury Silver.

I was mulling over these from the used threads:

I've been all over with this. All the way from some used CSL reps all the way to a new set of BBS LM-R's (in a moment of druken F*@# the $, those wheels are sick). Ultimately, the Volk Progressive ME's are a new wheel at a price that is within range.

Gotta choose tires now too. Thinking Hankook/Nitto/Falken. Hankook may win on price alone.

I'd go the nitto route. For no real apparent reason ha

I had the 555 NT's and hated um (partially because they were almost bald) but the S.Drives I have right now are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[CubanJJ09]

Yea considering the ones you got had zero tread on the inner patch and 90% on the outter. And the invos are ranked better in every category (according to the website)

[Vudoo4u2]

I have used the michelin pilot ps2 and like the vredesteins better

havent tried the nittos however

check em out!

Right... but the fact that they wore down so quickly on his car tells you something too. I just don't think they are made as well as Yoko's or Goodyear's but maybe thats just me being brand biased.
I've had a lot of cars with a lot of different tires on them and the ones I always notice handling the best are on Yoko's or Goodyears so I usually try to stick with them when I can afford to.

What The Fuck????????

[Ricer X]

So far I'm not happy. I schedule an appointment last week for 10 AM today. It's a long ass drive from Round Lake to Plainfield. Luckily I work for myself, but still, every minute I am not "on" is a minute I could be closing a deal. I even called Tony yesterday to tell him that after looking at mapquest that I may be 15 mins late, like around 10:15.

I get here at 10:06. There is one employee and another car waiting, but the two guys who can do the flash are "late". This tells me two things:

1. They are truly late as there was somebody else here expecting to have a 10 AM appointment.

2. They double booked.

Bottom line is that I will be here about an hour to 1.5 hours longer than I planned. I am sure I will be happy with the car when I leave here, however, nothing pisses me off more than people wasting my time.
