The wheels/tires/alignment/balancer yesterday was really enamored with Michelin street tires...take it for what it's worth, but their race cars are sponsored by Continental. The new guy Wassup61 seems to be an avid tire aficionado as well...wouldn't hesitate to direct any questions towards him.

I keep hearing these stats on this earthquake. It's fucking mind boggling. Japans location moved 8 ft in a microsecond, the earths axis shifted 4 inches and there were aftershocks hitting 7.0. Im convinced were all going to hell

First weekend night off since the night before the super bowl. Probably should go home, drink, and surf the forums about wheels.

All work and no play makes James a dull man! Lol

I dont care to watch sports played at a subpar level. I want to play or see the very best in the world.

Fuckyeah. I want my athletes like they are in my video games.

Sorry for breaking a thread...just catching up...

Last night was a good night. I spent a good 2 hours (cause my plans fell through --___-- ) driving around up and down Halsted, Clark, Broadway, Addison, and Lincoln, just honking and scaring all the drunkards. I got some good compliments about my car, which made me happy, so at each red light I was sure to give everyone a show as the light turned green, exhaust gurgling in everyone's ears. I was actually really happy with the way it was able to dart through traffic (cabs, meandering, lonely drunk people, etc) as if it wasn't nearly as big as the E53 X5, especially with the dynamic damper control on Sport (something you're all going to like about the new 3 series when it makes its debut). Really and honestly, if any of you want something a little more lowkey to drive around in addition to your current cars, something less involving and a bit more comfortable and versatile (cargo, winter, offroad-ish), this car is nearly incapable of disappointing you. If you have the money, this is a good investment.

WTF?!

BTM · 03-13-2011, 07:11 PM

Squeak noise diagnosed - tire rub

Camber plates - retorqued
Brake fluid - ATE Blue

Luckily I still have my old LM60s...probably won't be selling anymore since if I use those on the front to eliminate the rubbing, with my 245/45s for the rear, combined I have 2 sets of correctly sized snow tires.

Thanks for the help/expertise Jeff

gary88 · 03-13-2011, 07:45 PM

BTM · 03-13-2011, 08:02 PM

Hey Al didn't you just get the HPFP recall done? Does the car drive differently after the new software? I'm taking mine in on Friday for it.

mithiral67 · 03-13-2011, 08:33 PM

Cooked left overs are a week max. FreeZing after that isn't a good idea. Meat has a max life of one week in an average fridge. Just to much bacteria. It's why you can't age meat at home like say a steak house. Freezing after a week is just freezing the bacteria with the meat.
