That's just a picture of my girl and my car up in Charlevoix from this summer when we did a lake michigan tour.

Tossing the idea around of S/C my base model, just an idea for now.

I would personally save my money and put it into either paying off the car, a downpayment on another car, or bank it.

I'll toss around the idea with the fiance and get a hold of you if she decides to get a new vehicle. Her's is starting to cost more money then it's worth.

Alan, with a prescription I think it said 35 is the limit on the fronts when I looked it up online. With that being said I just had a ticket written off and the officer looked up the tint limit with a prescription and he said there wasn't any soooo take it how you want hah.
The law on tint changes a lot, most officers don't even know what the current law is, not their fault though when it changes once or twice a year.

Told you that Trifecta tune was bad news. If you don't care about the car, trade it in for something else while it's still worth something. You're definitely doing something wrong if you don't make enough to go places though. 40 hours a week on even a minimum wage job while living at your parents is plenty of money.

Never had trouble with mine. Tom's car ran great with the Trifecta tune.

Well, $2033.41 worth of body damage, that's fun. Glad I don't have to pay for it! Full coverage FTW!

Yup, my girlfriend and I were in the car when it happens, but we were both perfectly fine. It's at the dealership right now so I'm sure they'll be able to get it off. =)

But yep, not the most fun thing for a Saturday morning haha

Davison, Walled Lake, and Fenton are the bad ones I know about.

MSP are always a wild card too, they move around a lot so you never know with them.

well after one tank of mid i put premium back in it. got less mpg. only reason i hate it is i keep putting money in it to fix things and never get what i want for it. i get close to 50 hours some weeks. with buying tools for work its like i never have anything. plus after taxes and health insureance taken out its only 330 a week.

Well, for used, I suppose - but honestly anything below 5/32 is generally when shops recommend you replace the tires.
