*Edit* added pics

hey guys. i havent posted in a bit so i thought i would say hi and see how everyone's doin back in Hawaii. Things here are good, gettin settled in and preparing myself to go back to working for a living Finally got my baby back and she is safe and sound. I had to fly to St. Louis and drive 600 miles back home (9+ hours) in one day..... Put the new shoes on too. One of these days I'll post some updated pics. Miss you guys!

wow, 600 miles.. some nice alone time with the suby lol! nice to know shes safe, how long was it with out your car?

 

yeah mike how beautiful was it to have the wheel back in your hands??? hope everythings well and do some driving... back road style for me!! peace!!!

 

It was about 3 1/2 weeks without my baby. it actually got here early wich was great. with all the flooding going on in the mississippi i was a bit worried too. it was a loooooooong drive and alot of cruise control. pretty much highway the entire way so not the most fun. i averaged 28-29.5mpg on the highway tho, woot!

As for the back roads driving around here, it is phenominal! some *great* back road twisties here and the car handles awesome! with the new wider tires is just grips and has really brought out the suspension. those damn re92's were startin to **** me off lol. I wholeheartedly recommend the kumho ecsta MX. the grip on these is amazing and the breakaway (if you can make them break away) is very smooth and linear. the wet traction is awesome too. a few nights ago i drove home in rain that was so hard it was bouncing off the ground higher than my hood. i litterally couldnt see a damn thing and the water from the tires was splashing over the ledge of the doors! and that was before i would go through a puddle! it was seriously the worst rain ever, but with the kumhos the car didnt hydroplane once and i was taking turns almost at the same speed as normal. really a great tire and very affordable for the performance. so anyhoo im done ranting. i will try and get some pics up tomorrow if the weather is nice.
