Picking a set of tires and wheels will drive a man crazy! Looks, fitment, cost, performance, weight. Damnit!

Stock wheels! (or some Kosei K1R/K4R, I like plain wheels)

Tires drive me crazy though, there are way too many models and brands.

@Calum I think y'all is a Southern thing. We just say you guys. I remember seeing a Lebron James Galaxy Note ad where he says "Ah man, thanks guys. You guys watchin' tonight right?" and Wikipedia says he is from Ohio. I don't recall anyone I know from New England saying it either, so I think it's pretty safe to say it's a Southern thing.

No, it's here to. We go probably twice a month, mainly for groceries. My kids eat fruit and vegetables like crazy, the breads cheaper, and the meat is incredible. I cut the portions in half and still have more then enough, but it is what it is. The Peckels kids cloths are actually the best stuff we've found...

@Dimman, why do you try to avoid costco as you would Mallwart? Is it just the over endulging, or is there more to it?



About the y'all question, the first time I heard it was in DFW. I was there overseeing testing on some equipment the RCN was buying and one of the guys said he thought we'd really like this breakfast place up the road. So the next day we go... to a fucking IHOP. After we ordered the waitress took a half step from the table then turned back to ask "Y'all want cheese on that?" My initial reaction was she was making fun of our accent, but then I realized Y'all, and cheese on a pancake, was actually normal to her. I've been in the US several times and many other countries. But that was the first time I'd felt out of place in the US though.

^ The whole 'event'. Mainly the other customers. Parking lots are retarded. People then wander around as bad as they drive. Checkout is retarded. I don't need stuff in the amounts that they sell, either. Food is usually good, but I have a Safeway that is a 5 minute walk away. It usually takes me that long to park and get in to Costco.

Fun fact: If you are in Costco and see Gillette razors in fancy display boxes, my company made the machine that makes the boxes.

Damn, that's a sale price? It's just not worth it. It's taken me 13 years to put together the home theater system, and the music and movies, I have. I couldn't imagine paying that for a single album.

Man, parking in Costco is not that bad around here. Maybe it's just a Canadia problem :P

yah, costco isn't too bad down here. the only problem is the road it's off of is a clusterfuck almost 24/7

[OrbitalEllipses]

My local Costco is a clusterfuck. Parking lot, inside, everywhere. The one I used that was closer to my college town was awesome. Big, organized well, lots of parking, AND had a gas station.

Dear Mustang driver
Please keep your Mustang out of the road this morning. Your live axle, RWD & crappy all season tires ain't gonna do crap in this crazy snowing morning. If you don't, you might end up... Well too late. Hope you'll get that neighbor's fence fixed up

Love ichi

It already drove me crazy. I want a set of ssr formula mesh but they go crazy money for decent fitment.

Whats Costco?

We have Walmart here and it sucks. All Walmart does is produce crime...

Haven't bought winter tires for my FR-S yet and we got our first decent snow yesterday while I was at work. Was a bit nervous about the drive home on stock tires, but roads were clear and I drove like a grandma the whole way without issue. Couldn't get in my snow covered driveway. -_-

Edit: Wasted 9 bucks on a rather small bucket of salt that I wasted all around and behind my car while shoveling the areas my brother missed today just to insure I could take my car to work tomorrow without getting stuck in or around the driveway. I refuse to have the car stuck at my house when the roads are completely clear. >_>
