More like "its Hankook" I really thought the fronts were gonna be good enough so I cheaped out and just bought rears. I have been lookin at my drivers side front as a measure for remaining tread. This weekend when I removed the passenger front I noticed that it is much more worn than the drivers side. Now I feel the need to replace the fronts. BUT im def ready to upgrade from the Hankooks so if I end up buying a totally new set now Ill be at the $ wasted since I really wanted to upgrade

I was just about to ask if your stable was ok. Good thing you can PDR, eh?

I hope the Fit is ok.

So you like the mic and positioning under the car? I could not hear the exhaust rattle and the mic sounded excellent. No audible noise/hiss from the mic as others had reported. I take it with this clip the mic was in the cabin? Windows up or down? Stillen CBE sounds great,running stock cats.

Just now repped ya

Cool, can't wait to see some scenery outside of the USA. Please make sure you give a background marker to show what part of the country.

Not sure I'll let him again, we almost died when he tried passing. Eek!

In reality I can mount the camera anywhere I want though Did you see the quick vid I posted?? It will give you a great idea of how good the setup sounds
Ahhh...just now saw this post..Dang a 25 ft mic cord and it did not loose any signal strength. Great job, in my previous post I was referring to the mic. Your adaptor will work, just need to find one without purchasing the X-grip. Probably search B&H photo for the adapter. Thanks rep'd. Feel free to post up some more videos, would like to see and hear more.

Btw: your vacation sounds great, if I had the time off, the $$ and a motor transport I would be out to Z Days in a heartbeat. Everything ready to go with the Z or do you have some final prepping?

Night Z fam

Will catch up on reading backlog of pages when time permits or may not..haha.

Hopefully everyone had the opp to stretch their Z legs this weekend. Looked like ideal weather all around.

Ideal Sunday night: dinner, t.v., relaxing with fam and at least four Z visits to the garage.

I had hopes of stretching the Z legs this weekend but as it turned out just some local city putting. The bro is still building up his endurance for longer drives and corners...Patience grasshopper

I should be okay.
Glad you're feeling better!

It was a great drive and almost completely empty! We ended up at Horseshoe Bay, a very nice community on the lake. I was disappointed in the lack of sports cars out there though.

Hope you all had a great, relaxing Sunday. Good night guys!

Nice picture Mr.Alchemy!! The blue really stands out in the pic!!

The only thing... I will suggest... is photochop that white sign above the roof.... cos it makes the composition like something got stucked on the roof...

Ms.Pintsize725, my GPS is calculating the route now......

Mr.kenchan, maybe you can pair up the Folding-Wayfarers with the Folding-bike

Mr.onzedge, looks like the train ride was enjoyable, and Mrs. and you definitely look great!!
