Damn that is a good memory, the girl does like her bourbon LOL.

Have you tried the new Makers Mark 46? It is a little pricey for an everyday drink, but it fantastically smooth...

Something to wash up that dirty roadster with a stick when you arrive

You know pretty ladies do not like to have their pictures taken without primping first, maybe even a little quick detailer spray

I tried Woodford Reserve when we toured their factory in KY earlier this year. That was pretty good but pricey. Sadly, to many carbs for my limits. Guess I'll have to see about getting some Barcardi Gold or something similar, it isn't as bad for me.

In addition to the new muffler there's strakes on my car again . If all goes well a few other things might be done by TOD. Would love new tires too, but spent a butt load of cash on it already.

Like hell you got taken!

WHERE did you get that price ? Local shop wants $866 for four COnti DWSs plus $69 each for TPMS sensors! I'v got two weeks to get tires.

I am in the same place Mark. THP already told me in the spring that they weren't a huge fan of my racing slick rear tires. My tire money was my down payment on my new house (wish I'd bought the tires instead) so I have been saving up again.

Wow, what air pressure were you running in those. Must have been high. Usually you will see more tire wear on the outside than the middle like that.

Interstingly enough I run low pressure. Generally around 30lbs.
In my new tires I'm running 34lbs all around because I've noticed the fronts wearing on the outside.

Compared to you, 13K9, and Kim - I'm jumping the gun... maybe I will let my tires go.

I am not even down to the wear marks in back, and the fronts have considerable tread on them!

So, are you coming up this weekend, or next, to pick up the tires?

I think you will be fine, after all, you do not exceed 15MPH in any of the turns through the Dragon LOL
