SPC is cheaper (Whiteline bolts literally say SPC on the heads). Plus the SPC go in the lower hole giving you free crash bolts for even more camber adjustment

Pretty sure he'd charge for that, if he charges $60 for TPMS swap...

True. Actually, $60 for TPMS swap is relatively cheap. Wondering if it's discounted. Typically $20 per wheel to swap especially if it's 2 sets of wheels with tires.

I was gonna buy camber bolts and RLCA if they were gonna do an alignment anyways.

Was gonna throw in some springs in there anways if they were gonna do an alignment.
SpeedElement came back with the same estimate but w/o alignment.

Man traffic today was horrid, this week and last. WTF people?

280S was ridiculous tonight. I don't do that commute every day, but usually it takes _maybe_ an hour tops at the time I go, but today it was at least an extra 20-25 minutes.

Fortunately Google Maps gave me some shortcut off 280 through some backroads in Palo Alto near Stanford, which were actually quite fun, though short.

If I had to drive your route I would never get back home lol. Probably be doing loops around Hwy 9 & La Honda.

Haha I actually don't commute in my car that often! Usually I take Caltrain.

But I was actually wondering how much traffic would be on Hwy 9 and those roads during the summer/rush hour. With the sun up so late it'd be a fun detour if traffic is pretty light.

This time Google just had me take Arastradero Rd. to Purissima Rd. and that area, which is pretty relaxing with a few interesting turns. Also there are horses on the road lol, so gotta be careful.

Took me 2 hours and 40 minutes to get home yesterday when it has only been taking 1h20m to 1.5 hours.

Is that the infamous 37 traffic?

Japan is my #1 all time most desired place to visit in the world. How amazing would it be to rent one of these cars and take it on a week long road trip around the country?

Or maybe for familiarity...
