iphone 3g fell down the mountain @ northstar. god damnit.

 

lol...thats prolly 1 of the reasons y i havent bought an ifone yet...

btw...how was the snow in northstar? i heard the snow is sucking rite now...

i got bak from Vail 2 days ago n honestly i dont think ill b going to tahoe after boarding in epic powder in Vail...

 

there was fresh powder when we went cuz it snowed on friday. it got a bit slushy around 3:30 though cuz it started to rain but thats aroudn the time we left anyway. the mountain was pretty empty and lines were short so it was a pretty damn good day. pretty warm too

 

Damn, I want to go so badly but can't afford it without a job, LoL.

 

idk if you can even compare the powder at tahoe vs colorado...colorado would be ftw hands down...but then again, i dont do ski sports so...

 

Did you find it or did it go tumbling and you lost it?

 

I found out later in the day when I was trying to text someone.. tried backtracking but no idea where it went. It was a white 3g so if it was face down its probably almost impossible to find... esp. in the black diamonds where everyones just smashing down.. probably covered in snow.

Switching to verizon sometime this month I think. Eyeing the new google Nexus One .. rumor is its going to verizon? anyone else know details?

 

Booo! Sorry man...

Is that the new "droid" phone? I heard they were selling unlocked versions too.
But I think you are right about the Verizon part.

 

Vail's base is 8,000ft...top of summit is 11,000ft

2nd day was a blizzard...the 3rd day of boarding it was -8...4th day was the coldest -8 + windchill which brought it down to -14 at the summit...

Beaver Creek


1 of the side trails...


me ordering my lobster after the 1st day


Vail


1 of the back bowls...working the choppy powder is quite a workout...

 

nexus 1 is for verizon, and no its not the droid :P wayyyy better

 

nexus is going to verizon in the spring. the droid has about half it specs and a keyboard. i'm pretty sure 2.1 OS is being released to droid, which is running 2.0.

anyone in the santa clara, sunnyvale area have a 3G TL i can borrow to test fit some wheels i'm trying to sell?

 

WOW, how have I lived in Fremont for soooo long, and NOT know about this place???? I live like 3 blocks from that Valero. OMG, I am so going there for lunch today!!!! Thanks for the link!!!!!!

 

yay or nay?

18x8+35
18x9+35
mint condition




of course i can never leave anything as is so this is my idea.... filled it letters, powdercoat gunmetal or matte black

 

Looks kinda like what you got now.

 

but i have weak ass fitment now, 18x7.5+45 all around

and they're dual 6 spokes, the news ones are dual 7 spokes.

only downside i see is that i'd be downgrading from my work wheels to these inovit sparkle wheels. but my works are heavy, old, and weak fitment.

and these wheels are only $450 picked up in LA, his powdercoater can do the set for $160 but thats not including filling the letters so hopefully it'll be about 200 for the set to powdercoat.

i can maybe use my existing tires too, he says he recommends 225s for the back which i have, and 215s for the front.


oh and now he also mentioned that he has another set thats 18x8 all around, in matte black already (with letters) for $400.

@ Vimal: I like 'em but may steer towards the matte black ones...but that's just me...also, are you planning on staggered? coz I see you were checking out the 18x8 & 18x9...

 

yea staggered. and im probably going to do matte black too, if i get the wheels.

im probably not going to get the 18x8s all around, i want the staggered silver ones which i'll then have the letters filled and powdercoated matte black.

 

Not to barge in, but I rims are nice. I just wouldn't stagger because FWD but that's my taste. :twocents:

Good to be back again btw

 

I should get a response soon evo
thanks for the Inqry ...

Those are some clean wheels...

Any upcoming baymeets?


Does Ravi still come on Acurazine I saw him today in Livermore while I was I. My co workers red s2k... His car is pretty clean

 

I like those wheels

 

@VIMAL...wheels r alrite...buuuut how r u gona fill in the letters? if ur gona powdercoat...they r gona b sticking the rims in the oven n bake it...pretty sure whatever u fill it with will crack or shrink or melt or whatever

nice looking rims Vimal! too bad your works aren't 4-lug or my car isn't 5-lug, could do a test fit on my car and maybe take them off your hands! good luck with whatever you decide to do with getting new rims..

looking myself for new rims, so hopefully have some new ones by the time we have our 1st Bay Area Meet of 2010! keep us posted!

 

sup guys.. you guys have any body shop recommendation? one that can install body kits would be preferrable

 

The Deep Fried Twinkie & Pastrami Shop isn't too well known, but those that do know pass the info on....hella funny coz it's inside the damn gas station..LOOOL But yea, ftw there mang!

On another note, gawd damn heater core decided to go kaputz last nite...FAIL!

 

Damn Lito!! Sound like those EVO's have lots of issues?

 

Ok, looking for some opinions.

Should I stick with the leather/blackwood/black bling ring?


Or go with the all blackwood/chrome bling ring

 

Yay.
However, if you nay I will swoop on them !
Lemme know wassup.

T

 

i like the leather one dennis, it ties into your dash/seats etc...

it also looks more refined/ well made even though they're the same company.


im already in talks with the guy about filling the lettering. so its pretty much a done deal. although if you like those wheels, i think he can get another set... maybe not 9" wide though but i'll ask if you're serious... pm me if you are.

im going to pick these wheels up the weekend of Feb. 20th since im going to vegas that weekend, i'm going to drive down to LA to pick them up before i come home.

 

if your only reason for buying the new wheels is because the set you have now isnt aggressive, these arent all that aggressive either, so you may want to reconsider. would hate for you to buy these and then a month later want a different set. dennis, stick with the wood/leather

 

mostly random sh*t that just likes to pop up for me...as for the wheel, blackwood all the way mang just don't have the time or resources (funds) to fix right now...might do a bypass for the time being...

 

im not looking for super aggressive setup like many others have. i just want something a little better to work with. i can add small spacers to the new wheels to flush them out. i could add big spacers to my current wheels but then i'd have to stretch tires which is not going to look good on a 7.5 rim at least with 8 and 9, i can do a mild stretch.215 tires on the 8s and 225s on the 9s

never been a fan of poke/or the NEW hella flush..... but straight flush(aka the old "hella flush"), thats something i can acheive with these new wheels plus 5-10mm spacers and mild stretch.

 

Who does your interior work? I want the seats in my TSX redone.

 

was looking to buy a cheap monitor from staples but they're out of stock everywhere. if anyone is buying anything for $100 or more, i have a $25 off coupon if you want it.

pm me

 

decided to pass on the wheels now.

couple people talked me out of it since they're cheap knockoff rims.

guess i'll continue looking for a used set of good rims

 

I know we only met once at the Presedio meet a long time ago but, yay. Haha

 

I'm late

 

wow! that was a pretty quick decision! i thought you were pretty set on getting them new wheels? well hopefully you'll find some good rims soon! i'm still looking too, so we're in the same boat, but at least you have rims now..

 

yea i was pretty set on them, but i started talking to a few people and they started to make a few good points that i may have overlooked.

good to have friends to consult about this kind of stuff, ahha.
