Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa da fakkkkk. 
I can't afford to go to VIR and buy wheels. I'm scraping pennies together for wheels as-is.

Welp, my coilovers are going to have to wait. Need new clutch but cant decide if I want Exedy or FX. The Exedy is about $150 more then FX but both are Stage 2.

I guess you shouldn't have gone to carowinds the other day bro. How much are clutch installs? I'm surprised ive never had to buy a clutch for the TL.

Well isn't that precious?! You still shouldn't have gone. You should have told her you want tickets to the Oak Tree Grand Prix instead.

Tyler have you checked to see what Eurowise would charge to repair the bent wheel? It might now be as much as you think.

I haven't checked with them yet, though I probably will. I just want to make sure I have another set of wheels to roll around on to ensure the job isn't rushed. Plus, if they are beyond repair, I'll need a set anyway. I have aftermarket wheels picked out but can't afford them and brand new tires.
Jason, are you interested in selling the stockies?

So your woman bought the tickets for both of you to go to carowinds and it was for HER birthday?! Wow. Just wow. AND you called me a scrub?! lol
Yes they have tires that are about as old as the tires that were on the red Carrera GT that Paul Walker died in.

It's about 10 dollars round trip so why don't you stay home and scrape up your pennies for your wheels.
Nice. NICE.

Eric does your wife make u pump her gas ? Also seem like she like driving the is300 around with you. Still trying to explain how airride work to her, she 50/50 on the idea. She want to make the tl faster but really limited with the 3.5.
I guess I better call off for tuner evolution. Hopefully my wife let me buy my air ride kit before this. Maybe I'll redo my roof in cf while I'm at it lol. So much to do so little time.

Yeah, I'm going to take the Porsche up and check it out. One of my wife's clients who has a classic Porsche told her about, so figured we'd ride up, do some networking,and check out some nice European rides. Finally going to be a nice weekend too!

Hell yeah get some mods going and I will do the same. I've got a couple in mind that I think can happen before then.
