Get them tailored. And just buy the damn springs. You're not that poor

I always thought raceseng was expensive.
Look at how much their shift knobs cost.

I could.. that may suffice over buying new jeans.

And its not the fact that I'm poor, its the fact that I have a hard time parting away with money on non-essentials. But I'll probably purchase them when I can land a new job.

That's the name I was looking for. I remember when the group buy first happened. I already looked at the DIY since I had the free bracket. Which was neat but not what I wanted. So instead of custom plates, I bought a bracket. I could probably get away without the plate altogether too. The local LEO don't stop for that stuff but all it would take is that one CHP having a bad day. I drove it home and tried to not deviate much. Just a short stop for a pic and then a little of the avenue. Probably too much but I made it without getting detained.

I bought the Grimmspeed. 86speed I might not buy just a kit. They are more like a shopping mall.

Buy longer ones and roll them up like a hipster... You're in Seattle, dude.

Don't forget to pair with some wacky socks though.

WTF I could have sworn all their products were like $25-50 cheaper... Weird.

Too bad you couldn't afford the other shoe .....

As far as the jeans, just get them a couple sizes larger around the waist and wear suspenders.....they will be more comfortable and you can change the pant length by loosening or tightening the suspenders.

Like the dude said "I wear size 34 jeans, but size 38s are more comfortable" .....

I almost forgot. My bill at the DMV was $4.20 which the nice clerk attributed to "rounding of taxes"... I don't know how that happened but Clint knows I can't touch the stuff since I drive for my jobs which are both federal and state.

We got a new windshield for our RX300 in preparation for my test and it's so shiny.

Front dash isnt good enough even though many people have it there iirc. Cop may let it slide for that reason but glad you got the GS relocator. Its a good piece

Try the athletic fit Levis (451 i believe). @Cole mentioned them before. I got some and they are great.

GS is the most adjustable and why I chose mine. Though I got it in the GB so wasnt as expensive. Still better then a ticket esepecially since non-correctable front plate tickets are happening lately
