Oh Whaaa! Geez Erich, you're kidding me right? The mods play a pretty good joke on you, you get a CT, and you're upset cause you didn't get all of your ill-gotten posts back??? You wh**ed most of them anyways. Who cares if you have a double digit post count? You have the elusive and illustrious "Custom Title."

you seen the Y2K Motorsport R's? they come in like 4 different sizes (bigger ones if thats what you want). they look just like the y2k r's but they have little dimple like bump things around the outside. they have alittle bit of a dish look to them too...great looking rims. i was thinking about putting them on my car, but im goin to stick with my roh's. theyre in an add in mm&ff if you wanna take a look at em.
Thanks, but the 18x9.5 is plenty big. I was just looking for some different ideas. I'll have to look into those dimpled ones though

well guys, the stang is off the road!!!
i was driving down 50 towards bithlo following droptop93, and car started smoking like crazy
pulled over, looked under it, and there was tranny fluid everywhere! luckily some guy in a olds 442, pulled over to help, he looked at it, and right away said i blew my front tranny seal! so, i parked the car, went to the track with droptop and his friends, and was lucky enough to run into the guys from Gene's Auto over on Ellis by trickpro, and they gave me the number of a towing company, and i had the stang trailered on a flat bed back to Melbourne, and left it at my mechanic! so 175 dollars, for the tow, and god knows how much for it to get fixed, looks like the car fund took just a little bit of a hit! so ill be with out my car for a few days. damnit i hate cars sometimes!!!!

Dude, that sucks. Good luck getting it repaired. This might take quite a chunk out of your SVO savings. Good luck getting it fixed.

uh yeah, the infamous A4LD repair...
its time for a 5 speed swap
Cause if you ask around in the 2.3 forum, you're gonna find that getting a new or repairing a A4LD is gonna be expensive.

I thought my day sucked!! Sorry White hope it turns out to be a cheap repair.
I was on my way home from looking at a Turbo RX-7 that Matt might buy I was driving my RX-7 and a tricked out F-body Camaro was playing with me. We were in a construction zone so I waited until we turned onto a major road them blasted past him. He didn't go????? WTF??? I waited for him to catch up and we caught a light. I rolled dowm my window and he wouldn't look over. I rolled her back up took a quick look around then watched the red light.
Light turned green and I did a 4k launch and just walked away from him through 1st I hit second and destroyed him so I let off at about 50 - 55 mph.
Then came the lights, you know, the red and blue ones. I saw them come on and go right past the Camaro and up on me. I though to myself "Oh great!! I guess the winner gets the ticket." Then a second set of lights came on and they pulled us both over.
I have never been asked to get out of my car in Florida but the cops did just that and my opponent and I stood side by side. We were told we were getting racing tickets. The moment I realized I was getting a ticket I just turned to the other guy and said "Dude!, I so kicked your ass" he inquired as to whether or not I was stock, I told him far from it and he said he was pretty modded too.
The cop just laughed at us. I was hoping he would change his mind on the ticket thing but he wrote them anyway. I explained that I shut down at the top of second and was "only" 10 mph over the speed limit. He said I was going faster than that. I wasn't going to argue with him I know what my car does in second and I know for a fact that I have to shift to 3rd the get to 60mph.
I least I kicked his ass.

dont feel too bad jim. ive gotten two tickets, from the same cop, in the same car, on the same road, in the same area...in under 2 weeks!!! and both tickets are over $150 (ones 155 and ones 180+class). i get to get railed in the ass by the insurance company for one of them. and one of them i wasnt even speeding. i was going to damn speed limit, got pulled over and said i was going 60 in a 45. not me, maybe the damn van hauling ass next to me. stupid cops with their stupid radar guns.

I don't know if any of y'all remembered this, but we had planned on going to Hooters today. But it turns out I can't make it, and it didn't seem like many others could, either. So we should prolly push it back some.
