am i really that predictable? hmmm. i guess so. Monte Carlo is this weekend, so where else would i be?
seriously though, check your PMs soundwave. if you're local to the south bay, i'd be happy to caravan up if i wind up being able to make it.

well Don i'm really hoping that you can make it. It's nice to have a good sized group tearing up the back roads of the north bay.

i should know whether or not i'll be able to make it by the end of next week or so. it looks pretty good, as long as nothing comes up. my Mom is selling her house, and is going to be moving soon, so there is a lot going on.
somehow, i don't think that my S0-3s are going to last as long as i'd hoped they would

sorrry to hear that.
It's time to rotate my tires. Man the fronts are getting really low. Plus it's been a long time since i had my breaks checked out. They feel fine still but i'm sure they are low.

i've only had my new wheels and S0-3s on for maybe 1500 miles or so, but i've been driving pretty hard on them on a pretty regular basis. i was hoping to get 25k out of them, but i don't quite think that is going to happen. i drove Mt. Hamilton yesterday at a pretty good pace, and had a good time though, so its worth it.
i've got new rear pads to go on this weekend, and i need to check the fronts too. my brakes faded pretty bad coming down hamilton, and there is a hell of a lot of dust on my wheels now. i've also got a new set of adjustable rear lateral links, a rear strut bar, and a new turbo heat shield to go on pretty soon here too...

if you guys can get some more to come that would be great. But i rarely ever see south bay guys willing to drive up north. Shame on them. We have some amazing roads up here that we ould like to share with you guys.
ask the DCKK guys. some of them know me pretty well.
But that's not very South now is it.

I'll be scouting this sunday morning with my wife Christina. I have to see if Salmon Creek and Fitzpatrick really go all the way to Joy Rd. If not then i have to change the route slightly. Either way Skaggs Springs Rd will remain part of the drive.
