I can only do Friday night, time wise would depend on when you want to meet. I have class every day this week until 3, and don't get home till about 4:30.

That sucks that you still don't have the wheels back. I appreciate the offer for the helmet and will have to consider taking you up on it. I will most likely have mine, but not 100% sure. I will let you know by Thursday.

THanks bud,

I was just out moving my car, and checked out my tires. I think this next autoX event is going to wear the OE three down to the threads

Why? Cause it's on.

IT'S ON.

...and they're pretty worn out.

Gotta stop by Pep Boys and see if they make those $39.99 tires in 215/45/17...

...right.

i would like to do SOMETHING friday night, i dont have a set time to be up on saturday, so this is a rare opportunity for me. haha
i get out of work around 3 or 330. i work at the base right beside the airport so... i dont get off the turn pike till like 430 going on 5. then i usually go to the gym in irwin, blazers which im sure you all know where that is... right down the road. now i dont want to be pushy or anything but im pretty excited to be able to meet at least some of you so can you take an hour out of your day either around 5 or later.... i can skip the gym that day if i have to.... so... if anyone is going to be around let me know. i think it would be awesome to start knowing some people around here, specially when there is already something in common.

I'm downtown until 5:30, and I too hit up the gym. I could head north of the city, in my blood-relation Saturn, if you all are meeting up. Looking for something to do, too.

Lol! Same here, man. Same here.

GF (who's in MD for the summer): "Hey, Jon! Whatcha up to tonight?"

Me (Jon): "Nothing much. Just a car meet."

GF: "Oh, cool! Who'll be there?"

Jon: "I don't actually KNOW her, just came across her on the Internet, you know? She has a Cobalt SS supercharged."

Gf: *incoherent screaming*

Jon: "What'd I do?"

As for Friday, I can do any time after say 5. I'm supposed to get out of class at 3 and it's an hour and a half back home, plus time to drive if we meet near Greensburg, which is like another half hour.

We usually shoot for Monroeville, but whatever. I just need to know about how long we'll be out and whether we're meeting someplace where I can bring the puppy. Otherwise I might have to alter my plans for meeting up.

I'm in the same boat. Just realized how low the tread on three of my tires are.

Don't really want to, but will probably pick up OE Dunlops, since I just got a new one (stupid flat). Not the best for AutoX, but I gotta think past August, when I re-start school. Should be able to eek out 25k+ miles outta the Lops, and they hold well enough.

GF: "Oh, cool! Who'll be there?"

Gf: "Wow, hope he's a nice guy, what's his screen name?"

Jon: "Karla"

She's ~300 miles away, south of D.C. (still an undergrad) until August. 4 hour drive, which I made yesterday. We're doing the every other weekend thing. Or I am, at least, since I own a car haha...

I'm not picking her up, bringing her to a meet, then taking her home Might be a little much

Though I do want to get her up a weekend of an autoX event. I think she'd enjoy it.

Oh I'll be there. Because SOMEONE doesn't have a car to drive........mine's acting as the surrogate SS/SC for the time being.

Tell her you joined a cult and won't be able to see her. Then call her up on Monday and tell her the cult thing didn't work out. If she asks why just say "I guess it turns out to be a GOOD thing that I don't like Kool-Aid. And all those years I thought I was missing out on something special..."

I've 17k on the OEs, and could probably get June / July out of them. But not w/ the 300 mi. one-way trek I'm making every other weekend to see the gf, and the AutoX.

And I bought the car @ 7k and learned to drive a stick on them. And do burnouts, sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. And lots of hard driving...and still got 17k out of them.

Some folks on rlforums are getting 30+k.

If I wasn't heading back into school to have more debt crammed up my ass, come August, I'd go the KDW or Azeni route. But I am, so if I gotta spend twice as much for the Lops to get a not-so-sticky tire that'll last longer, ah well.

BTW, I took the day off today, for the "drag racing" trial. They pushed it back to next Monday. Figures...but I did have enough time to finish novel number five today Pretty pumped about that.
