Tevi this one is for you, so I have been looking at tires and the Continental DWS, but am leaning towards the DW's instead since I have been reading people use the DWS for all-season purposes and SNOW!! The DW's cost a few extra bucks but I would expect the grip to be a lil better in dry conditions... What are your thoughts? I know the DWS get great reviews but I don't need an all-season tire, just something that can handle rain once in a while.
The DW will give a little more grip in the dry while giving up a bit of ride comfort. The grip in the wet is the same between the DW and DWS so you'd be good there. Considering what you want in a tire and the fact that the DW is a bit cheaper, it's definitely the logical choice here

My dad has the DWS on his 330ci. I should've bought the DWS instead of these 912s. Definitely like the feel of DWS more.

Tires are a pretty penny these days...

Trev I know you are about to talk some more about Tebow... I will say he does what he needs to do to win. He has yet to play a legit team, and hasn't had to toss the ball to catch up in any game. Lets just say if he played the Pack/Steelers/Patriots/Saints he would get a rude awakening... You can't survive in the NFL with a run first option, defenses will figure out how to stop him and that will be the end of his QB career. I say you stack the box against him to contain the run, and play man on the WR's. I mean their best WR came from Minnesota (Eric Decker), how hard is that?

You know, thus far its up in the air. I been searching discount tire and seems like I won't be paying no less than 1k for tires.

Rears will be 295/30/20

Fronts still unsure. What would you guys run for a 9 FRONT wheel?

Keep in mind the car will be lowered with the fenders rolled. Just gotta clear struts and what not....

No work tomorrow, but I been up trying to load windows 7 on this pos comp I have laying around. What a pain in the a$$. In case any of you might be able to help me, after I go thru the initial "installing Windows" and it reboots the comp, it doesn't seem to boot up and my screen stays blank.

I'm gonna chuck it off my patio and make it a lawn ornament in a few here...

Iraqis will drive 5 wide on a 3 lane road. and if people are going to slow they will throw on their 4 ways and drive on the wrong side of the highway. 17 days and i'll be home for two weeks
just in time for christmas!!

Also anyone know where the cheapest place to get LED's is? I thought they were supposed to be like 50 bucks for all of them but have been coming up with like mid 80's for prices, without shipping


Just ordered HID's though!!

My CET was the lucky ones to get to go home on christmas. And I'll be home for our anniversary too.

She doesn't when I will actually propose, but I know by the little hints she drops that she wants me to. And I know I really want to too. We have only been dating her for 2 years but I have been really good friends with her throughout all of high school.
