On my Teggy I was running 215/40R17. The width is just slightly less by about 6~7mm from a 225/45R17, but with the lower sidewall you get even better gear multiplication, but lose a little top end speed. Acceleration for me is much preferred over ultimate top speed. The car would still do 240km/h with more to go, plenty fast enough really when top speeds on Okinawa were just 80km/h.

All four, in what I consider very good condition, some light curbage, but nothing you'd notice unless you're crazy detail oriented (like myself)

PM me btw.

Man, you need to hang a hammock from the jungle gym in your car and sleep in it... I think your girlfriend is cute as hell.. You can bet that if you marry her she will pop up one day with a list of what and how much you have spent on your car... Keep some cash stashed away she doesn't know about when that day happens... It happened to me Sunday night after I got home from Houston with some pretty parts for my car... She slept in another bedroom the last two nights so I was able to get some sleep... I'd slip her some of the money I've stashed but then she would move back into my bed... It hell having to go to sleep beside a pissed off woman...... Your car looks like it will kick some serious big ass.

LMFAO...LOL @ stash cash to soothe a woman's scorn

I haven't bought a new shirt, shoes, or pair of pants in over a year...so this is how I rationalize car accessories/parts to the boss.

You must not have been audited by the IRS bitches if you think you don't have to justify your spending... You own a house and will be taking advantage of write offs you have never had before....They might want to make sure you aren't taking too much advantage..

I'm the same way.. Except for buying 4 packs of black pocket Ts, 3 pair of wool socks and skivvy drawers, It has been well over a year since I have gotten any clothes... I'm wearing deck shoes that are 23 years old right now.. I look pretty raggedy since I weigh 40 lbs less than I did when I bought most of my existing wardrobe... I moved from a 2 story house with a 2800 sqft garage on an acre of land in a private resort community on a lake with a golf course, into a tiny travel trailer on a friends farm outside of Plainview Texas.. I don't want to have to start all over again because of another scornful woman....

haha thanks guys for the comments! I will make more videos of it over this weekend.

I would so love to video some "Kills" but I don't want the coppers to get ahold of it.
