Went for a little cruise tonight to mess around with my new Bluetooth OBD2 reader and Torque.

Anyway went to turn around on a driveway and scrapped the bottom of my lip and intercooler. Graders went buy on the shoulder and left a roughly 4" ledge that you hit driving down at.

Not impressed. No mechanical damage and too dirty to inspect the lip.

At least you didn't break anything. I get so pissed at the way that the roads are worked on. Going into or out of a construction zone there will be like a 2-3" drop that you are supposed to just drive over at normal speeds....ummm no I'm not trying to **** my car up, and honking at me will not make me go faster!

I used to see that here all the time! Once my brother bent his wheels on the highway because of that and had to wait overnight to order a new rim. Same highway I had the same thing happen but I was able to slam on the brakes enough to slightly bend my wheels but not take out the tires

I literally laughed out loud when I read that cause it's soooo true. Speed limit is 45mph and america slows down to a crawl to go over train tracks and everyone is right pissed lol. Priceless haha.

I have no problem slowing the grayline down and pissing some Canadians off lol

I may have a race setup tonight with a blown 2010 Camaro that made 608whp on the local dyno dynamics. That may be a tricky one, he's got a decent amount of power on me, so could be good!

Sometimes tire spin is unnoticeable when it's cool and those tires are hard. They have a tendency to to not hop in cooler weather. Mine are damn quiet when they spin!

Do you have your tune boost ramped pretty substantially?

Before I turned my car down to winter mode I let my brother and a friend drive it and neither one could shift it properly they were both surprised it gained revs so fast

I spun 2nd in the grayline last night right before I got to Dustin's house. I'm sure the 20 gallons of E85, toolbox, and my bag in the trunk didn't help the weight distribution

Just some 225/45 Potenzas off of a stock 2010 STi. They are somewhat performance-ish I guess haha
