got new shoes! (pictures inside!!!!)
after about 5 months of rolling around on 2 stock and 2 18's I finally got new 18" tires. I dropped them off this morning to get put on and just picked the car up. This is how the conversation went:
Guy: Do you really drive the car like this?
Me: Yea, why?
Guy: You have like negative clearance, i've never seen a car driven so low w/ so little clearence between the fender well and the tire.
Me: Yea I drive it, car rides fine, rubs a little buy you get use to it.
Guy: hows the ride?
Me: Firm as hell, kind of like riding a skateboard
Guy: You are one nutty kid man
Me: Thanks (then I drove off)

had paradas, got new paradas. I didn't actually buy them, my girlfriend owed me money and she had 4 brand new tires sitting on rims and 2 of the rims were bent so they weren't getting much use out of them. So I stole them from her, and in return have to fix her 2 rims and get her new tires down the road.
