Sadly, can't make it this week, just got back from a 4 day trip to Tampa for a wedding, with the inlaws in tow. That in itself would have made an amusing segment. Quote of the trip from father-in-law:

"Not sure what time the tux place closes, let me know check because I'm sure they probably post hours somewhere on their Google".

Tonight's Top Gear challenge will be seeing who can get better gas mileage in their FRS.... whilst on a canyon run!!!! Who ever has the discipline to control their inner kids and drive like a responsible old man will be declared the victor. You lose points for every time someone passes you or you hit a deer

Well I just lost my shit on FB against some closeted racists that think that Canadian being killed in Burkina Faso allows them to bash an entire population and call our PM a terrorist sympathiser because he was scheduled to (an visited) a mosque on that day(people from a mosque that btw condemns the acts in Burkina Faso).

It looks my neck of the woods is going to get a foot of snow this weekend. Unlike you Canadians, this area is hatefully bad at dealing with snow, and they'll likely salt the earth like General William Tecumseh Sherman.

It's been bad in Utah as of late. Also they like to salt the roads so much, it's like an exorcist trying to get rid of a demon. I can hear the plows chanting "the power of salt dissolves you"

just found out a good friends mom passed away last thursday, and i've been deeply saddened by this. Then i found out my buddies older brother is the one who started the fire. I haven't been able to do much at work since. just at a loss for words.

Wait, when you say, "started the fire" are you referring to creating drama or actual arson???

Holy fucking shit!!! Was he actively trying to pull off a straight up murder or was it like an errant cigarette type situation?

Btw feel free not to answer if this is too raw or tough, I'm just honestly curious how this all went down. Sorry you're in a shit situation RP, all the best to you and yours.

Shit, I had trouble going back to work after 4 days for Thanksgiving. But thats why I usually put an extra day off after a vacation over 3 days long just to decompress.

I already seem to be buying a new set of tires every year so I dont think tread life will be an issue. Or do I have the wrong mindset??

I do 20-25k a year, wider tires are the only way I can get more grip without going broke lol. But even then my DD wheels Im trying to refinish are 17x8. Im running 17x9 right now but with a 235 only and these will get dedicated autox tires eventually.
