Burnsville. They have been easy enough to work with and get things corrected but what should have been a simple tire mount and wheel install ended up being a major hassle. They gouged one of my stock wheels - they repaired it - they lost a center cap - they replaced it - they forgot to install the hub centric rings - I reminded them and they did it - they trashed my interior click here for the horror - I cleaned it myself. So I don't trust them enough to leave my car with them.

I get flat spotting on some of my cars with summer performance tires. I notice it mostly when the car has been sitting for a few weeks and then I drive it. Usually notice it when I first take the on-ramp onto the freeway. After a mile or two, it will go away. For me it doesn't have to be cold out for this to happen, just need to have the car sitting for days or weeks before driving it again.

As long as the flat spotting goes away after the tires are warmed up, I wouldn't worry about it.

later,
Curt

My guess is a couple days in the sh*t can car and I will be breaking the G out of storage!!
I just take my two buckets down to the coin operated wash and clean her up lol. Works pretty well!

I tried to store my car one winter and it was too much for me to handle. I just swapped my wheels over and started driving it again lol

Did someone mention snow?? Sure glad I got the X.....especially considering I am going to store it this winter!!

Happy birthday Andrew!!

Thank you!

And I never noticed any flat spots with my v12's but my car never really sat around either.

Just go to any coin op. As long as you are fairly quick doing it, no one says anything. We have only had one instance when one guy got extremely angry because we brought like 4 people.... The owner of the place got a complaint but he basically told the guy off because he knew us and knew that we were frequent "customers"

Steady working on improving the G.

Got the 9500ix installed with stealth cord and blendmount.
Got 30% tint all around and 50% on the windshield just today.
Working on getting the stereo up to my standards. Have a post going in the audio/electronics section. Not a whole lot of feedback so far but I have been researching everything a lot.

Yo MN-G-FEVER, let me know what sign you'll be holding up. I usually got that on in the background.
