          I thought you weren't taking it at all for at least one or two semesters.

              that's a long ways away. at the rate you murder tires, you'd be buying tires again by then...

                  a) alignment no longer sucks monkey scrotum.

                  b) no, i'm out of tires actually. I have tons of wheels but only a set of track and very used dd tires.

                    1. Use very used DD tires until you scrape frame.

                    2. Thermo 2 kicked my ass and left a shoe in my large intestine.

                    that is all.

                      I have some Michelin something-or-other 225/45-17 x2 that you can have if you want them. I can definitely find 2 more similar-sized tires with good tread left if you're just looking for black/round/hold air.

                        I think I need to roll my fenders a bit more...



                        when I went on a test drive through the neighborhood there was an almost constant high pitched whine and the smell of melting rubber. I then raised the car up about 3/4" all around, and now the car looks like it has some definite rake. May have to raise the front up some more too...

                        Wheelgap is like a vagina. The more fingers you get in, the worse it is.

                          I might be down if the 235 dunlops I have are totally killed by the end of the season.

                            Get ready for some patented Sam Style 5 leghumping.

                            Looks good though! The wheels kinda sorta fit.
