There are other options?

I like the look of the steelies on the twins. Can't beat the price either.

Maybe I should get some spinner hub caps? Car looks like crap all winter anyways.

And when it DOES RAIN IN CALIFORNIA the oil from the road rises to the top and it might as well be ice. However it is with people who HAVE NO CLUE how to drive on ice so its just chaos.

I'll one up you, when I washed, detailed and waxed my car and it rained on the same day and I crashed my car because of some a-hole tailgating me.

Makes you wish there was a semi-accurate way to predict weather in the comming days...

Though this is why my car gets washed like 3 times a year and only before meets, if at all. Lol

I could tell you how to receive weather images from the NOAA satellites as they pass overhead with a $20 USB dongle, some PVC and 20 feet of coax...


But then I d have to kill ya.

You know what really grinds my gears?

Installed lowering springs yesterday, and need an alignment because the rear toe is fucked. I've called 8-10 different shops and probably 75% of them said "Nah bruh, we can't do it because we only have factor alignment specs in our computer" To which I reply, "Yep, I'm ok with that, I just need the car in a drivable state" and they say "Sorry, we won't do it".

Why's it so damn hard to find a shop that even has any availability. As it is now, looks like I might need to take Monday off work to deal with this.

Thats one reason imo i hate RWD fast and furious drivers.

What really gets me is cockroach smell, rat smell...anywhere!

I also really dislike giving someone a ride or getting a ride in a smelly car that smells of food... kinda gets to me and i start imagining putrid food... /vomit

Rear toe is about the easiest to set yourself. All you need is some thumbtacks & string.
Make two plumb-bobs with string and a weight. Put the car on level ground and stick the thumbtacks into the outer edge of each tire at the horizontal point to the front of the rear tires near the outer edge. Hang the plumb-bobs and mark the floor. Roll the car backwards so the tires rotate 180 degrees and the tacks are pointing to the rear. Hang the plumb-bobs again and mark the floor. Measure between the front marks and between the rear marks. A little trig and you will know your in/out. takes a little more work to get exact left vs right but you should get the picture that should at least get it drive able until you can find a shop

I've done it myself before, but I now have SPC toe arms, and don't have a wrench big enough to undo them.
