I appreciate you checking in to that and giving a prompt response, however it still doesn't seem to be working. I'm still getting the same message.

When and why did this 50 posts thing start? I used to be able to PM and now it would seem that some replies don't even work. Does that mean that I just need to add some senseless chatter and pithy comments to be able to PM? "Huh? What? Okay! Yeah!" :)

Thank you for the tip. That's where I took it. I checked around town and lots of people had good things to say about them. It turns out that quite a few of the dealerships use them. They're pretty sharp guys but the wheel is just too damaged. I suppose I need to post somewhere else...

I read about some outfit that had franchises with a proprietary process involving multiple hydraulic rams, heat, and then annealing but they're out of business. I figured the sidewalls of the tire are trash since I wound up driving on it after flat. I'm pretty impressed with how well it held...

I was immediately reminded of Oh Brother Where Art Thou with a dash of Deliverance sprinkled in. I suspected something awry in his "heh-tidge" as he didn't understand why I wouldn't want to come back. The last time that I was at that track was with Stinker, Jack, et al at the meet up and...

I made a pass at Alabama Dragway in Steele, AL this past Sunday. There are potholes toward the end of the track which no one mentioned before I approached them at 100mph. The guy at the timing booth said "yeah, sorry about that. Come back Friday night! You can run all night for $10!". I...

I think that it may be beneficial to spend a little time brushing up on aerodynamics. The functions of wings and spoilers are very different. I get the idea that you want the end result to be functional and not just look cool or you'd be designing a "wing" for a honda. While the factory spent...

I suppose I got lucky with mine. At 84,000 miles, I'm still on the original clutch and just started having trouble with the slave cylinder. I've been going through oil like crazy (3-6 qarts per 3K miles) for about the last 20,000 miles, varying on how heavy my foot is. From what I...

I found the Perelli to be more of a drifting tire. It was very predictable and controlled, but not a sticky tire by any stretch. I never could really get the Perellis to hook at the strip. From the Perellis I went to the General Grabber H speed rated. The compound was much stickier and the...

Stealership oil changes Mine have been running right at $150. However, if you have an '04, it only takes 8.5 quarts. They'll argue with you a lot and swear that it takes almost 11 because that's what the online manual says and it couldn't possibly be overly generalized and hence, charge you...

I got mine in April of '08 with 16,000 miles on it. I drive it every day in Atlanta traffic and have over 34,000 miles on it now. The only time that I ever thought about not driving it every day was when gas was $4.50/gal and I was getting 8.5miles/gal. Oh, sure it'll get better if you baby...
