Clay bars change your life

All we know is.... He's called The Stig

[stockysnail]

If someone would like to clay bar mine I'd be happy to let them. I don't feel like washing and making my car pretty for over 3 hours that it would take, nor do I feel like spending over $100 to have someone do it for me. Dirt adds character and proves you drive your car instead of try to show it off to the ladies that don't care, while the men drool over it, wanting to make love to your car's gas filler hole ignoring you while you watch in disbelief.

I was talking to my wallet today (metaphorically). I said, "Fuck you wallet. I haven't bought car parts in a coons age. Motha fuckin' car parts ordered!" Boooommmm goes the wallet.

That's a pretty specific image you're painting there.

Hey, if I make it out, what time-ish should I come heckle you?

Interested, post the deets when you have them. Isn't rdm on Sunday?

I don't know what RDM is, but my two favorite things are vehicles and photography. I haven't met any of you, so maybe I'll Park across the street and watch, incognito style.

I just drove from Seattle to Portland. Shockingly, only had 2 road rage incidents. If you see me around, wave (preferably with more than one finger).

Here's what my wallet said in response. Mind you he is made of stainless steel. "You didn't even scratch me with that so called boom. Your pansy ass needs to learn how to spend like those fine ass bitches from the movie Clueless."

All I bought was rear LED turn signals and a relay switch to replace the Tom's relay switch that decided to make the turn signal get stuck, leaving my batteries drained at work. Tom's tails make look the shit but the tail light LEDs failed and the relay switch failed multiple times too. I'm never buying Tom's stuff again, nor anything else the company makes like the Buddy Club tails. Rockin' the modded stock is the way to roll.

Biggest reason why I've stuck with stock tail lights. I've seen accounts of dead LEDs and other defects with all of the aftermarket taillights.

Exactly! I am definitely not a fan of our alteeza tails, but at least they work!

Been thinking of paint matching to get that Ferrari look.

Hey, this is an off topic thread, so hopefully no one will freak out because I didn't search thoroughly enough for them.

I need tires. Like, now. Two have been destroyed. I'm excited about starting to track, autocross, as well as being primarily a spirited DD.

Since people here are in the NW, they know what this thing called "rain" is, a majority of the year. What do they people here who DD their cars, but also track them, do for a tire? I really want the Pilot Super Sports, but how hazardous to drive them in the rain?? Do the occasional track people run summer tires year round? I don't have the money to change back and forth, which would be the ideal way to go.

I'm grumpy because I've been obsessing over tires for hours and hours. I'm tired, and tired of it. Thanks for listening.
