Happy Birthday!!

Its amazing it didn't seize up. Then again think how much she saved in oil plus the ecological waste of getting rid of it

One thing I have found out is that car makers design there cars to use a certain tire design to give the best all around performance for what the car is designed to do. There for a similar tire to what is on there would maintain what you are use to. If you move up to a more performance oriented tire that has a stiffer or lower sidewall it will give you better performance in the turns at the expense of a smooth ride, Like wise if you go with a touring tire it will be comfortable and quite but may be a little bit looser in the turns. I use to drive on average about 40k miles per year in the SF bay area. Most of those mile were put on my 2005 jeep grand Cherokee with the 5.7 hemi. After I wore the first set of tires out ( in 1 Year ) I put some Goodyear tires on it that were supposed to be good all around tires, It wondered all over the place like a fat woman in a candy store. The tires sucked big time. It wasn't the brand but the design of them. The same went for my Porsche, originally it had Goodyear tires that were specifically made for that year and rim ( 1988 euro spec 930 ) that no one else manufactured for. those tires were only good for about 6 to 8 k miles (super soft compound) a few years after having the car another manufacturer made a tire that would fit the car. Bought a set put them on and after about 600 miles took them right off. they were half the price of the Goodyear's and only provided about half the traction. Seeing that you like high speed bursts I go back with a minimum of what came with it. you know already what they will do at high speed .

Thank you for the warm reception, I look forward to meeting more of you in play or at some of the Clan get functions in the future. So far everyone I have played against over the years have proven to me that I wanted to be a part of this clan and now that I am a member I hope to stay as active as possible with this group. I am retired and live on the west coast fairly close to SF and I know there are a few members close by to this area to. (Old Man is about a hour from me so I know to stay out of Petaluma now.) It would be nice some time to meet up for lunch or a few pints. But anyway thank you for the welcome and I look forward to the future with this group

Don't know if this will work Nope it didnt

And I wonder why my wife hates my humor

a little hunor

I figured he would prefer the one on the left. wouldn't know what to do with the one on the right Braille or not

Loader you would wear it out reading the same line over and over again if it was braille

here you go loader this should keep you happy for a short peroid

It is a pain to post some of these pictures, My camera is 36 MP and I shoot uncompressed, Basically the file sizes are huge and having to reduce them to upload takes a bit. Never thought of that till now

A few more of the Americas cup and one from Yosemite, the last one is from a electrical storm in Greece from our back balconey

Nikon D800 28-300 3.5-5.6 17-35 2.8 24-70 2.8 70-200 2.8

Ok sound is gone. Now I want to import Kate Upton from game of war to COD 2 as my fighter. I would never be shot then. Then again something worse might happen

Its the newest thing in silencers and flash suppression

Logan, So have you set up a second date with him yet?

Rat would make a great member as long as he signs a minimum 20 year unbreakable contract to play and stay around

Nashville you are on the FBIs top ten list with all those. So what name did they use for your post office wanted poster picture ?

That's great to know some of the maps background noise is very distracting

After going through some of those tests I feel the doctor should at least give me flowers. But they do save lives. and I am happy we will be able to kill Rat Fink for years to come from fairly early detection. Have always enjoyed playing COD2 with him and more so our conversations during the game. A great person that I am happy to have met, Even if only on line.

The truck that I used way back then in competition was a 78 Toyota SR5 pick up . It had twin 10 inch subs built into the rear wall behind the seats 4 four inch midrange speakers built into the lower portion of the door. they covered a small portion of the bass , dome tweeters in the upper section of the doors 5.5 coaxial speakers in the door pillars, I used a Nachamichi TD 1200 head unit that went to a electric crossover EQ that controlled 5 amps built into the truck one mounted way up in the dash behind the glove box two under the passenger seat another under the drivers seat and a purpose built sub amp mounted to the lower section next to the seat at the door jam. Small small interior in this truck. with test equipment it pushed 110 decibel's with no distortion through out the entire range. to make this all work I had to have a custom alternator made for the truck with a higher output and squeeze in a larger battery. Had a couple of large capacitor in line for the bass and mid amps. I used nothing but Focal speakers back then and to this day they make some of the best quality sounding speakers. All very high rated speakers for the 1 watt 1 meter specification. I sold Alphasonic amps back then and used all there amps in this one. there amps were way under rated on true power output but were so clean. fun stuff but I wonder at times why I have this continues ringing in my ears

This is so sad, This world just keeps getting sicker and sicker. We put our trust in these people to move us safely around the world and it only takes one person to destroy it. I feel for those families loss

Traffic here has gotten worse in CA in the last few years. If you flip the rat to some out here now they might shoot back. a lot of knuckle heads here. Where in CA are you headed to ? The 80 Strip through Nevada I never got used to the triple trailer trucks passing me at 90 mph

Starting to really see the ADHD show up in these threads. I am in the walnut creek concord area and use to work in San Jose. Now I understand your tire question BoomBoom. use to drive on average 45 k a year no ford would have held up to that and I went through a set of tires yearly
