If they don't cover it why not upgrade to Z1 High flow cats for $388

That's the other option I was considering. Not sure if I wanna go the resonated route though. Wouldn't I technically legally be able to swap my cats out now since the stock ones are damaged? Haha

I don't disagree with Mike here. The kind of meets 2GoRNot2G attends (and wins awards at) are all-night orgies with hot Asian chicks, whereas our little meetup is an awkward speed-dating session for a dozen ugly guys at the Airport MicroTel.

Two completely different worlds.

Not really. I believe it's still illegal (felony? not sure) to touch catalytic converters unless it's a shop. Even some shops won't install aftermarket highflow cats/ test pipes because they don't want to break the law.

That's the reason why a lot of aftermarket HFC/Test pipes clearly say "For off-road use only". It's to cover their @$$.

I have some terrible news! I was never able to pick up the bronze wheels for my car.

When I had agreed to purchase the wheels, the seller told me one of the wheels was getting refinished due to some minor curb rash. (No idea why he waited to tell me) and the wheel is still at the shop getting repaired. My Christmas break in NJ is over so I won't be able to pick them up anymore.

Kinda bummed out but this also means I can go for the OEM black chrome wheels, even if they will cost a bit more.

Does that mean that it's open season on those wheels? LOL

JK. Sorry you missed out on them. Weird mis-communication. Seems to happen a lot in these transactions.

Nevertheless, you still have options. This might be a 'sign' for you.

So I decided to check up on my insurance today. (I have USAA) my rates from September 2015 - March 2016 was $1379 which was understandable, but I just saw that my new quote was $1316 for 6 months. I've been driving for 3 years now and I've had no tickets or accidents along with being active duty military. I figured I'd see my rates go down quite a bit more. Maybe it's time to look for another insurance company? Nationwide quoted me at $1000 for full coverage which sounds great.

The most significant reduction in auto insurance won't happen until you turn 30, or you turn female.

Supposedly getting married helps too.

I have USAA, enlisted, under 30 years old as well. My Titan is $293 and The G37x is $407 for 6 months. ThaT is with my wife as the primary driver of the G on the policy. The Z06 is another $450ish for 6 months with the remaining 6 months being $132 when I don't drive it for winter.

Haha! I see you selected Option #2. A bold choice.

But the money I'll save on insurance will be lost towards a wife

$407 for 6 months? Is that liability or full coverage?

Full coverage 100K/200k property/bodily, with towing, rental, roadside selected/maxed.

The wife does bump up BAH. Just find one that prefers to stay home and reads books rather than clubbing or shopping

I have the same coverage, just $1300 for 6 months. Eh, I'm also a first time buyer.

BAH isn't really anything special because if you're living on base, you don't get it and if you live out in town, you use it to pay for your rent. My Corporal pay (Sergeant in the coming months) is fine all for myself.
