Rick there is this office building right behind where Cars and Coffee is held with a cool statue/fountain in the middle of this circular driveway. I drove by tonight and it was pretty cool. What do you think?

I think I know the one you're talking about. That works; the whole area over there is pretty nice.

Turnout was great, we took many pics and you can check them out here if you missed it. Ran into a few guys I knew and had a chance to check out a Tesla....

Anyone know a good place for me to get the rear fenders rolled? I got new tires, and put 245 in the rear instead of 235 and now with even one person in the back I rub on the rear drivers side. Should I even be concerned?

Depends how bad your rub is. If you can borrow or get a fender roller I can roll them for you.

It sounds like light rubbing. And does somewhere like O'Reilly's have one that I can use? I checked the tire, and there is no indication of rubbing, but I can hear it.

Yea...I guess I'll deal with it. It's really not that bad. And I'm site after a while that the tires are worn it won't be as bad.

Oh it will get bad. Thats why i ONly allow 1 passenger on my car but there are exceptions. For the most part find out where its touching. Mine is on the sidewall which is a no bueno.

Mine is on the middle part of the shoulder. Not the sidewall thankfully. But there still hasn't been any indication of rubbing on the tire, so that is just my guess.

Tpms?

Hey, does our 3rd Gen. come with TPMS? If so, is there a way that you can check? Bc if it does, I just realized I forgot to switch the TPMS from my stock wheels onto my aftermarket wheels. If we do have TPMS, did any of ya'll switch the TPMS onto your aftermarket wheels?

I live pretty much right on 35W, North end of Fort Worth so it wouldn't make much sense to meet anyone in Dallas then drive south. I'm hoping there are a couple other CLs coming down from this side too though, so we'll see. If it isn't raining, I'll be there. Hoping to use your PDR skills on a couple of door dings that have been bothering me for awhile now

Need some advice for a quick second, please.

The dealer is sending out the inspector next week to look at the car, and I'm a bit worried he may notice the missing cat. when/if he notices the exhaust. Normally, I wouldn't be bothered, but the guy is supposed to be a service tech., so unlike the usual inspectors, he might more than likely know that the car has 3 cats.

The plan is still buyout, but I'd like to avoid the guy giving any nonsense from it.

Maybe your best bet would be to switch out the cat just for today...you probably can do it yourself in like an hour my guess...

If anyone wants to meet up along the 35W side or anywhere else down to Austin in the morning, give me a call. 817-903-8024. Or call with any other questions/comments/concerns. I'm aiming at leaving at 630.
