if you mean using a https instead of http, tried that and still doesnt work...

since I work from home and on a company laptop, they do make browsing a little tough....to add to it, I connect to the client site and they have different internet policies and hence its a nightmare to get around it....

It will let me access flickr but not upload to it, I can use https and bypass that one...but stuff like Gdrive and Dropbox, now that shit is totally against policy due to the sensitive data I work with

Meko, I wish I knew about that...PS: is that the same route where people drive to see the colors of the fall? if yes, its absolutely beautiful....

I didnt have a car in NY so most of the driving was done by someone telling me where to turn/etc...

also on my way to Boston in the rental, I did wander off somewhere in Rhode Island....all I can say is, that was an awesome drive....

Well, colors of the fall... that's same with every route around New England, but!!!! The only one spot, I mean a spot that people come from other states to see is in NH

Road that's like 35 miles in White Mountain. Best road to see/watch the trees change color. Will go there next weekend, to take some pictures. Visiting started this week, well, leafs shifting color

RI is good too, at night. During the day not sure because of the roads or environment but I feel like there is cop on every corner

I can only imagine how awesome it would be to drive up there with my car...I even got a kick driving my Kia Rondo rental through NH and Acadia park back in 2007.

you could try to set up your own vpn on there, that might work but, if you're at home I'd just have my own laptop set up next to my work laptop.

new tips looks great, J. There is a local member here who has the same ones on stock mufflers with resonators removed, the set up looks and sounds awesome.

LMAO, well, if my personal laptop were next to my work one at home...I'd only have 1 free hand to work, I'm sure

Farukh,
Thank you sir! I figured I wasn't the first...I'm SO happy. Even Rich loved them, the ultimate compliment! The guy at the exhaust shop wanted the easy route of cutting out the mufflers and putting in single exit. I was like, uh...sorry brah, I paid WAY too much money for my exhaust system to be eliminating anything but the tips!

nah...if I setup a home vpn, my work vpn acts up...even my communicator wont work

and why buy a personal laptop when work gives me a new laptop every year

eventually I do wanna buy a MACbook Air (the only Apple product which I will own) but I just dont see myself spending all that $$$ for no reason

All day (if am traveling or at home) I am logged into my work laptop...come evening, I log off from the VPN

makes sense, company web filters are lame. my work laptop will give a 'content warning' when I try to log in to my company's retail website.

Honestly, I thought for SURE I'd miss the works much much more. I really don't. I love the advans so much. I appreciate the comments!

No you don't...prolly got dicks in your eyes like Miley!

Okay, serious note...going to install the center caps today. What orientation should they have? Should the letters be facing the same direction as the writing on the spoke, or the barrel "Advan Racing"?

Exactly, sits straight with the big horizontal Advan Racing
Would be nice too if it sat at the same direction of the small decal but that doesn't do a great job on visibility
