Damn that Jag looks soooo good....I checked my winter tire Sonic km for the season - I keep a spread sheet of when the swaps are done to keep track of such nonsense...and hold on to your hats: 722 KM. From early Nov last year 'til last Friday. 722 km driven. LMAO. Should've put it on layup too. I put almost half that much on yesterday going to the city and back. If Cdn Tire would've had time, I would've come home with new A/S tires. Oh...I did find this on Kijiji though... 17" Sonic wheelsI'm vain...I would LOVE to have those for my little shitbox. So much nicer to look at. (Son: But that would ride like crap. That would be awful. Stick with the 15's! - I swear, he's not my kid. )I mean...doesn't this look so much nicer?Than this?Then again for $475...meh...and then tires too...$1000 better spent elsewhere. Like...I did notice some incessant and annoying clattering coming from the front yesterday, the city seems to provide the right conditions for hearing those things. Not too fast, and plenty of little bumps and pot holes to make things make noise. Which has me wondering if the other stabilizer link is broken or is breaking. If it is, guess I'll see what happens if I remove it like the other side. Hasn't been connected in a couple of years, couldn't tell the difference... Almost like that bar isn't even needed...

I think Bella went off-roading with her car

Almost like that bar isn't even needed...Don't go from 15" to 17". I once went from 16 steel to 17 alloy on a Sonata and while it looked very sharp IMO it exposed every shortcoming of the car's suspension, so besides the appearance there was a downgrade in everything else. Besides, these factory 15" look great.
Another set of 10 hole wheels for the Mustang. This time with al season tires on them.The middle boy sold his Fiero today. The oldest boy bought a 2005 GMC Sierra. Needs some work. We got some new us fenders and doors from scrapyard. Busy weekend.
Skiing yesterday, washing the cars today in shorts...I think Bella went off-roading with her car Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk
I bought more for the extra rims than the tires. Here is the older boy's truck. A little uglier than his other one.
The roof box went on the car for the first time this season in anticipation of the Le Massif trip.Wagons and roof boxes, can't beat 'em.
Took my Camaro to the track again, but this time I pushed it a bit harder.Ended up pushing it way too hard and went over the edge(pun intended). Understeered off the track once in one session, and I got too hot wearing a jacket in the first afternoon session and started to mess up. Spun out twice in that session.Luckily, there is no damage other than a lot of rock chips on the front driver wheel since I ran into a lot of rocks outside the track. I think I will leave them as they don't look too horrible from a distance and I might do it again in the future.
