Is it still gonna be Gappy lol? I think the wheel poke I have now with the CV4's is partially to blame. But I know I need some swifts. Once all this is said and done I'll be getting some ASAP.

Hey can I at least enjoy the positives for a little while before I realize the negatives? Are the 3 piece wheels a b!tch to clean I'm guessing?

I suspect the PITA has to do with the bolt-heads. After waxing those rims, you're going to need a soft bristle brush, like a toothbrush, in order to clean out the wax build-up.

Waxing the insides of those spokes doesn't look fun, either. But not crazy difficult.

LOL, na, it's not too big a deal (maybe 5-10 extra mins) and worth it for some nice wheels.

Awesome! I'm so down to go on a meet up drive and hit that show any Thursday you wanna. I've also been talking to STREETTEC and he's up for the meeting as well. It's about a 4 hour drive for him tho. Are you going to bring your lady and your son? I think STREETTEC is gonna bring his woman. So if you wanna bring yours then I'll bring my girl along too. Hopefully they will have as much fun as we are going to have lol.

I got the tracking info on my new wheels n tires yesterday. My appointment for all the repairs is on the 7th. So I would imagine anytime after the 10th of this month we can start planning a meeting buddy!! I'm excited.

Have fun in Miami you lucky dog!!

Anyone else that is located close enough to Memphis, TN is more than welcome to attend this small gathering with us. The more the merrier!

I would love to drive down to Florida and see you Jerry! The wife and I are trying to plan a vacation right now. I had to agree to pay for a full vacation of her choice in exchange for being allowed to buy those VSXX's.

But if you had some kind of special car meet or event we could center the visit around hell yeah I'd come see you and the crew you run around with. I'd hate to put all those miles on the vert but I'd do it just this once.
