Great pics bro. I read through the post about the va meet and saw that you were there. Did you drive from upstate all the way there being that low?

Lol. I know it's a lifestyle. I think a lot of us choose that lifestyle but I only asked cause I know how New York roads are and not sure if he went over the gw bridge but if he did, I don't know how he did it...that's all

john is always a "drunk driver" in the eyes of law enforcement.

swerve, brake, swerve, brake, reach destination. check tires for bubbles.

I live in upstate NY...the roads aren't nearly as bad up here as they are in NYC. According to Chip, sparks were shooting out from under my car at one point from hitting a bad spot getting on 95 south.

What's your obsession with that bridge? Is it really that bad?

I don't have an obsession with that bridge. That whole section before and after the bridge is really bad. Pot holes, bumps, dips. It really sucks. Anyone that has driven through there, can be my witness. I was just shocked that op being that low with rims on drive through there, if he did. That's all.

No, like I said, I don't live in NYC, so I didn't drive by there. I can imagine how horrible it is though.

Yeah, you don't want to live/drive up here on a regular basis. The winters are long and cold and it's impossible to keep your car clean. The snow is tolerable for the first month or so, but then it drags on for another 3 months and it starts to drive you crazy. FL is my favorite place to be in the winter.

One more that I didn't want to post bc my car is so filthy, but oh well...

Thanks, Arthur. Give me a shout if you plan to stop at one of the Cortland exits for a beer/gas/etc. I'd love to see your car in person.

^plenty of people DON'T run front license plates in states that "require" you to run one.

i live in Maryland and have never had my front plate on even tho i'm supposed to. i've never been hassled about it. it's a law that will eventually get phased out. i wouldn't worry so much.

go ahead and order that decal!

I actually run my front plate when I'm not taking photos. I have a hideaway plate frame. It comes in motorized and non-motorized versions. Mine is non-motorized, but I've seen the motorized version in person and it's pretty slick. You can buy them here: www.swiftmotorsports.com
