Sounds like a fine time to upgrade to a set of custom wheels/tires. Get the one wheel fixed and put winter tires on them. You can thank me later with a beer for helping you spend your $$$

Lucky you don't have an nsx, I've seen exhaust commonly run in the 2500 range, and 5000 for a titanium equivalent

Actually I have been driving it alot lately. My DD doesn't fair well in the winter. So the TL gets to feel the pain of the snow, ice, salt, edge of the garage

It looks like March 8th. As far as what we are doing I have no clue. I think we might grab a bite somewhere and go "cruise" to a good spot to take some pics. If you have any suggestions, let us know.

I suggest lets meet in OP somewhere for dinner and then, since Anil likes the places where i recently took some pics, we can go there and get some pics. Only thing, March 8th is Friday and we will have to take pics before sunset for the places I have in mind! For night time photography, the only place I know where good pics come out, is by downtown airport. There is a road that runs around it and we can probably take some pics there with downtown in the background.

KC Alignment Deal...

I spoke to my friend who works for Firestone and she is giving a generous discount on lifetime alignment....You can buy the alignment here and use it at any firestone....You can go in as many times as you want ()

Regular Pricing = $180 + Tax
Discount= $25 (roughly 15%)

Discount Pricing = $155 + Tax

I have 5 peeps down....if anyone else would like to get in on the deal, lemme know....

Actually its not fairing too bad right now. Need to weed out some employees, but its actually nice, I get weekends off; since we cater towards the business travelers so right now weekends are dead. But will see what unfolds once we hit summer, the property just hit its 6 month mark, but alot of work trying to establish business.

I should be down for March 9th. Need to hang out with you guys more, as long as you don't mind having a TL with paint missing from the front aspec lip.
