that's great LOL.....
Why do drivers' education classes in Redneck schools use the car only on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?
Because on Tuesday and Thursday, the Sex Ed class uses it.

Anybody ever change to a different rim and mess with the TMPS? Looks like several options. I can buy new bands and use the old monitors ($60), or I can just hit the warning button every time I start the car (Free), or I can put the monitors into a "Pipe Bomb" or the spare tire to trick the system ($20). Looking at getting the Nitto 295/35 18 for the backs and getting new rims like a GT4 or FR500 in Black all the way around. I'll use the BF Goodrich KD's 265/35/18 I got now for the front.
Also a question for Scott. Which way would you go? I'm changing some of the pulleys on the front of the engine (Steel bolt into a Aluminum block). Anti Seize (for Galvanic reaction of different metals) or Blue Loctite (To make sure they don't come loose)?
Hey Cody if your car didn't sell you can relist it for free untill it does sell. Of course you will have to pay for the orginal listing plus X% when it does sell. Good luck Spring is only 2 1/2 months away.

I would use antiseize for a steel bolt in aluminum and just make sure it is torqued correctly and it should not come loose. Be careful with loctite on the engine block. The constant heating and cooling may ruin the loctite anyway.
That new wheel and tires combo should give you a great new wide azz stance

How the valve cover mod coming???
I have also come to a realization that I must flap my gums at least 10x's as much as Nick does in any given time. Check the join dates. Oh well!

I can't imagine my car without the stripes or even in a different pattern now. They will be a permanent fixture. If they fade a get messed up, I'll just keep replacing them till someone can figure out a way to make them permanent with paint.
