I thought those were the real thing. Not reproductions.

But they didn't come originally on a car. Unless I didn't look at it right.

I just got home from doing just that. Went out to this road called snake road. Some of the turns are 180 degrees or more. Its my favorite road to drive . It got more turns and elevation changes then a road course.

If I had my car, I would buy those...500 for a set of wheels is cheap!

The drive was great. Passed a Prius on the freeway doing about 85. Slowed down and let him catch up to me in the other lane and then dropped it to 4th let the 11 pounds of boost kick in and blew his ****ing doors off. I'm a dick.

BTW. I've got a new Optima battery in the car. Last one was a dud. Exchanged with Advance Auto under warranty and upgraded to a yellow top. Supposedly better for my situation.

I'd have dropped it to third but that would have taken us both out.


He's probably still talking about that dick in the black Mustang.

I wish we had a road with twists and turns and elevation changes here. It's just flat land as far as he eye can see. Nothing but cow pastures and crop rows.

That's sweet! Mostly just traffic roads around here, but I like to drive down by the St. Croix river. Lots of beautiful terrain around there.

Wicked fun hairpins when you start droppin' on the west side (B-A). Drops from 5000 to 2000 in about 30 mins... if you can drive a bit

Any body know if I'll have any fitment issues with some 285/35/ZR18's on the back of my car on 9.5" wide saleen wheels? The 245's just don't keep enough traction, but they are good for smoke shows at stop lights next to some cheap rice

A fourth grade boy died today. He was not in any of my kids classes or in their grade level.


The school was having a kind of party day to get the kids loose and give them a treat before the upcoming TAKS (standardized tests) next week. So they were serving smores. Only these smores were not with melted mashmellows and chocolate, they just took those large marshmellows and put them on a graham cracker with some chocolate bar pieces and gave them to the kids. Well this boy might have tried to swallow one whole or who knows what but he got one of those giant marshmellows caught in his throat and couldn't breath. He freaked out and ran out of the room and actually passed out in the ahllway fell to the ground, broke his teeth when he fell and started convulsing on the floor of the hallway. My daughter actually saw this part happen. Her teacher heard the comotion and went out her door and she was first on the scene and began performing CPR not even knowing the windpipe was clogged. The kid was bleeding from the mouth and my daughter saw this part until the other teachers showed up and put all the kids back in their rooms. Zoe didn't know anything at all at that point other than what she saw. I picked them up at 3:30 to go to her kickball game and saw ambulances and fire trucks. I figured it was normal, because they often have fire trucks and stuff there for the kids to teach them and stuff. So Zoe told me what she saw. Then later when I see my wife she tells me the full story. The little boy had gone to her school last year. He just panicked, left the room, passed out, hit his mouth when he fell, started bleeding, but no one ever got the marshmellow out of his throat. The ambulance actually took him to the hospital but he was pronounced dead finally at the hospital.

It is so very sad. I don't know the family but I can't imagine what they mist be going through. You drop your little boy off at school that morning and he never makes it home because he dies at the school. How can that happen? It's so very, very sad.

Sorry to share such a sad thing with y'all but it really got to me. So many thoughts going through my mind about the fears I have when I let my children out of my sight.
Now that's horrible. Poor kid.
