    THE Tire Thread

    Just ordered a set of the Bridgestones from Discount Tire. They are local to me so that's who I went with. The front 255 40 R18 were 267 ($30 cheaper then tire rack). The rear 345 35 R19 were not in their system. I showed him the Tire Rack printout and he called them and got a part number, then...

    Who's considering getting a new Boss?

    A saw them in person and they are just as ugly. Not only are they ugly, but they are an exact copy of the Viper, even down to the Laguna Seca edition version. Geez. I won't buy one in the current colors. The orange is actually the least worse in my opinion.

    Ford Raptor Question

    Most of the guys with 6.2's are reporting much lower mileage, more like 12 in real world driving. Talked to a 5.4 owner and he said, "my friends with the 6.2 pull me by a length but I get 2 or 3 miles more per gallon." Take it for what it's worth. If your worried about mileage get the 5.4.

    Frozen Fountains in Phoenix

    Didn't the northern part of the United States used to be buried under a mile of ice? There are people living on coral islands worried about getting flooded out, but when did coral ever grow above sea level? Seems to be we are just swinging to the other direction from the last ice age. I know in...

    Tim Cantwell Second Annual Track Day Update

    Update on Chuckwalla in Desert Center. A day during the week is 3,500 and a weekend day is 4,500. The track is literally in the middle of nowhere. Palm Springs is 90 minutes to the west, although Coachchella is 30 minutes closer. They have casinos but can not vouch for quality. A team was doing...

    The Future's Most Collectible Cars

    One thing to remember is that in the 60's people weren't collecting everything with the expectation it would be valuable in the future. Has really changed the whole value proposition. The real question to ask here is how valuable does the GT have to get for you to stop driving it? To sell it?

    Dumb question, but how do you get the winched car out of the trailer if you can't find a slight up hill orientation?

    Entertaining GT Vs. ZR1 discussion on another forum

    I took a Corvette Driving school in Pahrump. I had considered buying a corvette to have a fast daily driver. I know these were school cars, but they were falling apart. Anything that wasn't brand new was junk. Plus even the top of the line cars had really poor quality interiors. There were about...

    Why are cars fun to drive?

    The problem with driving is the police. I took my car on a 450 mile trip the other day to cross some mountain passes. Saw 8 police cars. The sad fact is driving a super car at legal speeds is boring. 10 over in a normal car might fly, but in the GT your getting pulled over. Even in the middle of...

    What would you have bought.....

    I have a sickness. I want every car out there. I wanted a porche in the 80's. They still look the same and while they are great cars, will not own one until they get better sounding and looking. Dodge came out with the Viper. Wasn't that thrilled with the look, but then the GTS came out...
