Hope you win..you could always jack it up and let it rip in the garage for a few days. You won't even wear your tires out. Tell them you get 50k out of a tire.

Yep or I could send him a recalibration box for the speedo and he could "over" calibrate it, when he's doing 20mph it could read 100mph or kilowhatevers.

My life-long best friend lost his battle with cancer last night. It was a many year fight, but a brain tumor was just too much. Terry Holdinghausen was as fine a man as anyone could hope to know.

Sorry to hear, Scot. Was that the man you brought to my place after your golf vacation in Crossville?
