Dr. Apex

I'd like to see how much the city of Chicago makes of these as they seem to have thousands of them up there, i'll bet it's a damn fortune.

I've been looking at the Kumho MX, problem is they seem to be phasing them out and are getting tough to find. It is one of the best bang for the buck tires though. Andy, are you referring to the Toyo R-888?? I don't know of another new one yet but the R888 is a pure track tire but they are supposed to be replacing theri good street tire this year so that must be what your referring to.

I bought it 3 years ago, it's still good for autocross for another 3 years and however long for DOT.

Sounds like a good deal but I'm sure Derek can fix you up Ed. Jones, yeah those Falkens are kind of a niche tire. Try looking at the Bridgestone RE01R, another performance oriented tire but does well in the rain but much pricier than the Azenis though should be on par with the PS2.

Yep, it's an XXL.

I'm selling my Ski jacket and pants as I already have new bibs and will be getting a better fitting jacket next season. The pants are a "Swiss Alps" brand and all black with zip up pockets, size XXL(I'm about a 40" waist). They were only used once since I got my bibs and are in good shape. $10 The jacket is a "Zero Xposur" and really nice, it just doesn't fit me well. It has a nice removable inner liner and detachable hood.I can't get a picture or their site to work for me: http://www.zeroxposur.com/_products/mens.htm It's similiar to this but all tan w/maroon/black stripes across the chest and down under the arm. $40 Also my office chair that I don't have room for. It has height adjustment and a nice mesh back that is really comfy and breathes well. It looks almost identical to this: http://www.officemax.com/omax/catalog/sku.jsp?skuId=21570783&searchString= Though mine has different arm rests. $35 PM me if interested in any of these.

I'm selling some extra stuff I have laying around I don't need anymore. 1: Full face Motorcycle helmet. I don't know the brand but it's likely and HJC. It's DOT and Snell M95 approved, I used it for autox for a while. It's a size 7 7/8 - 8. Yellow primary color w/black/red/silver accents. Has no cracks and has never hit the ground. $20obo 2: OSU car floor mats. They don't fit my Pathfinder so I bought some cheapies for it. They are brand new and still have the tags on them. Here's the site with pics thoug mine are 2 toned and look better(no actual pic as my camers is broke). http://www.fanmats.com/default.aspx?sID=e384c3a9a7b04480946251e0ecd270b3&cid=catalog&logoid=2d8c845616e8429f872931ffefb8d3a0 About half way down the page. $25 Firm PM if interested

What the study doesn't say is the length of time they monitored these intersections, they don't investigate it long enough at all. It's been done before in several other states. While rear end accidents go up something like 600% at these intersections with cameras it's only temporary, after some time the accident rate at these intersections decreases considerably and the study doesn't actually cover the long term affect, hell it doesn't give any time frame of how long they studied this. There was a big article about this in Sport Compact Car and several other magazines when this was first starting up in California. The other issue that has been mentioned here in Cbus is if a ticket is issued and the owner is not driving and who the responsibility falls to in certain situations. That study does say that it's a fact that red light running has been on the decrease for years in Florida and it's probably the same most other places and I personally agree with their belief that it's just another way of generating extra cash.

I think it's time to trade the Pathfinder in for a Gary Fisher and just drive the Laser when it rains.

Normally you introduce yourself in a place like this, unless CR has become a free means of advertising without my knowing.

I noticed a slight gain in mpg's on my pathfinder, not sure if it boosted hp though. Just be careful with oiling a filter like that, as someone mentioned it can cause problems for something like a mass air sensor or possibly others. I only shake the dust out of mine and don't oil it.

Been interesting watching this show, I've kept watching to see how the local guy is doing and I think he's playing the game brilliantly. I did like what he had to say at the end of the show tonight!!

^Yeah, with my knee the way it is and honestly the rest of my body still sore my season is over and I'm praying I don't need surgery as if that's the case my autox season would be mostly over.

^No. My old roommate has been boarding for years and has helped a lot but I'm one of those people that does everything by feel and learns better on their own most of the time. I was making good progress, I was finally able to control my speed and was using a lot less angle to do it, I simply wore myself out and took osme hard falls late in the day. My knee didn't even hurt until yesterday morning.

I am now in a knee brace from boarding yesterday, managed to sprain something, doc says it's either the mcl or minscus!! Yay me!!

Nice one Buck!! I had a pinky dislocated once on it's last joint pointing upward and that looked wierd. Also I just got back from the ER as I managed to sprain my knee snowboarding yesterday, mcl or something. I only got a prescription for Ibuprofen though, wanna share that vicodin as that's good shit?!

^For $201K that thing better have nut massagers in it!!

I'd take a new C63!!

It was quite nice up there, not quite the powder we were hoping for but the best conditions I've been on yet. I'm finally making progress, figuring out the weight transfer finally and made it down the main hills decently though I still took some hard spills.

I was going to but nobody seemed interested and then I got coerced into staying home and watching tv, sorry Rob. Cooper lot completely covered huh??

The snow record here was smashed by over 5in!!!

I'm heading up around noonish.

^Yeah, she was hot. Meg Ryan was damn good looking too.

Anyone game for 8ish??

Your first post works for me Rob. 8ish?
