There is no reg saying you need to be there 2 hours before your flight.
That is a recommendation only.
2 for domestic, 3 for international.

45 to an hour at minimum if you need to check a bag.

I regularly get dropped at check in about a hour before the flight is scheduled to leave. (w/ just a carry on)

You've apparently never flown out of ATL. On a good day you can get through security, the transportation mall and to your gate in an hour just as your plane is boarding. They don't have a lot of good days during normal travel times.

I won't even take a layover in ATL if it is an hour or less.

Did it once, never again.

To be honest I feel the same about DEN.

My boss brought krispy kreme to work for everyone. I haven't had krispy kreme in a very long time. It's not that I don't like em. Just krispy kreme store aren't near by.

Tell me about it.
There is one in the entire state and it's on another island.
Malasadas make up for that though.

Spent some time looking through the Fitment Industries website while debating the aesthetic difference between 255/40 or 245/40 tires. So far the only thing I feel confident saying is that there are a lot of people who have clearly put a lot of effort into taking some truly terrible pictures.

My parents arrive Saturday to start their new lives living in the U.S. Coming from Honduras.



I am freaking TF out. I'm very excited, I'm just worried about the house being in tip top shape and them being comfortable for the time being. Getting every one settled in and accustomed to the way things work here and what not.

I can already hear my dad saying "Why does your yard look like shit?"
My mom "Son please promise me you don't drive fast"

Haha I know what you mean. Also some tires have "lip guard" or whatever call it to protect the lips on the wheel. No to mention, not all the 245 o&/or 255 are same width. That's why I check Tire Rack or brand's site to get correct width.

I found that out the hard way with the PS4S tires on the 18x9.5 wheels I currently have. The recommended size is 255/35, but Michelins tend to run narrow and they look stretched as a result. Part of the reason I'm looking so obsessively when shopping for tires to put on 17x9 wheels. In this case the suggested size is 245/40, but by most measurements 255/40 would be square to the wheel width. Then I can't get PS4S in 255/40, so I was thinking about RE71Rs, which are discontinued. Now looking into Hankook RS4. There aren't a lot of choices in 255/40.

Gotcha, if you're going 245/40 then recommend Ventus RS4 or Neova AD08R. iirc their tread width is over 9", so def it doesn't look "stretched". Direzza ZIII & Azenis RT615+ is <9" width, so wouldn't recommend getting them. Oh than Pilot Sport AS4, I think they were the narrowest one out em all.
