I took mine to the track today but not to run the car.
I got to participate in a high end SUV slalom test. BMW handled the best with least understeer but it should, considering the suspension and the massive rubber. It was a Lexus event where new prototype RX350's were being compared to all others in the class. The organizers were ogling my car regardless. Next spring i'll have my baby out there too.

I got my Coopers on tonight. HUGE improvement for the car. Best of all, no more rubbing. Now looking at them, I probably could've done a 285/35 or even 295/35 without running, but it's ok, maybe next time around. So far, my brief drive home, I'm very happy with these tires.

That said, I think I need to take my car back to the dealer to have the rear end rebuilt again. It's whining terribly again and is chattering during low speed maneuvers. Great.

What??...clearly it wasn't done right at the dealer. I knew it didn't feel completely normal when I left, but I was starting my new job and didn't have time to bring it back in.

I knew you would like them.
They're made by Cooper in collaboration with Roush, so you know they're great tires.

Whipped a loud mouth camaro

So I can't brag to much but a guy that live a mile or so from me decided to put fart cans on a v6 rs new body camaro. I decided a day or so ago to let him hear a real muscle car and he chased me and almost cause a wreck. So today when I passed his house I revved my 05 gt just to let him hear it again. Again he chased me down, well this time I let him see the taillights!! Then he decided to do a doughnut and put the nose of his car in the ditch. I love my stang!!!

Steeda was having a Veteran's Day sale yesterday (wooo 10%), I was looking for one anyway and the discount was better than nothing so I snatched up an underdrive pulley kit. Should be here on Saturday -- I know what I'm doing this weekend
