That's funny right there! I don't drink coffee that much, I just really like it to get me going in the morning.

I love my Keurig! We have one at work too!

Thanks for the information dood! I really appreciate it!

I think their default offsets are +22, but I could be mistaken.

They're sitting on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 19/35/245 up front, 19/40/275 in back.
