A Sign Of Spring.... - ANTHONYD - 03-28-2006
Passed a street sweeper today.
Always a ood sign...even if we are still 3 months away from summer wheels. Maybe longe judging by the number of potholes out there.

I ditched the snow tires yesterday and put the "no seasons" on both cars. I'lll do the summer only tires for both once the pot holes get filled, probably May 24 weekend.

I found that was even too early last year.
It's one of those things where I think you just need to "go for it"

How do the potholes feel on your lowered setup?

Just fine, it's the SVT set up so the drop is minor and components good.

I haven't noticed the potholes to be too bad this year...at least on the east side of town, and not going downtown.

hmmm... summer wheels = one big last snow fall. At least that happens to me when I do it...

Another sign of spring is the smell and sight of dog *hit all over the place !! A neighbour of mine just lets his dog out to dump to wherever. I "collected" a bag and dropped it off on his doorstep. But ......... I forgot to light it on fire B)

The potholes are fine (if you spot them) It;s the ones you don't see that cause the damage.

I wish I could say yes, the latest thing is she "wants" the Subaru now :rolleyes: .
I mean she has NEVER driven it and does NOT know how to work a standard tranny so I'm still stuck in this retarded game for god knows how long. Imagine a newb with 227HP guided missile of a car trying to "learn" while coming up Don Mills south from the DVP?
SHE NEVER KNEW WHAT TO DO WITH A "STICK" ANYWAY!
ba-dum boom tssshh :lol:

Boo to that!! :angry:
A Sign Of Spring.... - NOS2Go4Me - 03-28-2006
Good news - I can see most of my driveway.
Bad news - I still can't see ALL of my driveway, or my lawn, or get to my shed still for the mountain bikes. :angry:
Almost time to get the S2 susp. installed then.

friggin women.. always keeping me down.
maybe it's her new boyfriend that wants the subie. Give her a couple of weeks while she rotates stock.

Either way, if she takes the suby I don't see Rico Suave Andrew keeping the Focus, so it's still a win win for you puppet and you get Andrew's cheap rims.
Cheap, right?
A Sign Of Spring.... - Oscar The Grouch - 03-28-2006
Just say if you can't drive it, no one can. Pour sugar in the gas tank.

or get some chromed stealies to trade with.
Andrew is far to practical to just dump the focus. It could very well be a battle between practicality and mid life crisis.
