Steven, I gave you an out! Soooo...you were being inappropriate? I'm quite taken aback!
Tyler, did you now? Well, when you come in here, flying solo, you're bound to get sacked, man!

Took the 35MM out with me to Markham park for my afternoon rainstorm ride. Had a great time and got some cool shots. Hope y'all enjoy

Please note 1st set of tracks on the left of the car where I pulled into and felt the car kinda sink into soft wet ground and almost got stuck...
Lightly feathered throttle and got out, thank goodness.

1361 too...love the feeling when I see that one.
I'm trying to get better about not posting up the same camera position all the time...blows me away how different the lines look and the light shines from just a foot lower or higher or 2 steps to the left or right.

Yes, from time to time, I'm INappropriate. Being an Administrator, I need to set a good example. But I'll venture out a little bit-just to keep you guys off balance......
Love the new pics, bro.

I SO agree with you, Anil.
Holy hell...I was convincing myself to be okay with it, but man was it fkng ugly. I'm glad it's gone.
About the wheels...yeah, no doubt...I shoulda saved my money and just powdercoated them a color I liked better than black. Oh well.
I do love the Advan though.

^^^ You didnt make the exact same mistake that I did...
I loved my Enkei's (before I got on Acurazine LOL) and when I got bored with them, I should have done what you DID, SELL EM !!!
but instead, I spend almost a grand on them...500 for tires and 400 for powder coating...the wheels themselves were 600 bucks....
I ran them for over a year, tires got down to about 45-50% and thats when I sold em for about 1200...
I could have just sold em for 500 (wheels were 600 new anyway) and just called it a day....you did the right thing by SELLING them AS IS !!!

that made me feel better about it...
I guess sometimes I miss the look of 19's but certainly not the damn weight and cost of tires and how they rode
Fkn 58 pounds with tires, that set up.

You don't wanna be like me, man...I'm an a$$hole.
hahaha...
if the car didn't come with them, I probably wouldn't bother. Like on the S2000...I just cleaned up the oem ones and painted everything gloss black.

Exactly the route Ill take. Well I want some new rotors. Totally adds to the look once you can see past the aftermarket wheels. Brake wise Ill just paint them gloss black too. S2k looks amazing as well. OEM goodness.
