^ it was an option that my uncle wanted me to get since he was afraid of turbo'd cars. I didn't knew if that even existed.. but Senator Subaru offered it..

Last year my stock dp clogged because of my bov. I took off the bov and went to dealership thinking that my turbo + other things blew. They took it in and fixed it without a question. I told them that it could be the turbo.. blah blah.. mechanic looked at my file and said, "no prob, will take care of it."

Cheap GOOD tires? General Exclaim UHP's. Like $75 a tire... four season, stick like a motha in the wet and a very good dry performer too!

I bought a brand new set of those last year, was tearing down icehouse & dipped two tires in the dirt for a second.

Result: both right side tires flat

LOSE

So, besides stealing laptops, you also defraud businesses.

Woah! Double side wall blowouts??? I off road mine (I know stupid with a lowered car) in sand, gravel, river rocks. But, if you lost two in the dirt (assuming no pot holes, etc). I should probably slow my fast a** down!!! EEEK!

I blew one out on the driver's front last winter @ 65 mph on the highway with light snow mid corner. Was able to gather it and get to the side of I-5! I wrote it of as a freak event...

Looks like I will be pulling these off the car when snow hits for premium snows ~ and tossing these puppies right in the can!

I'll buy some serious summer tires next spring to replace the Generals...

I drive WAY too fast on tiny, almost untraveled roads, to be worried if my tire is going to let go mid corner and trip me onto my roof.
