I have decided I need to buy my tires before the end of the month, the sales tax is going up next month here in California! I haven't found a place to repair the wheels yet, it looks like I'll have to go with the expensive "mobile repair" wheel specialist...

What? From 7.75% to ???? Bastards. Glad I did all my mod spending for the next few months.

Did you rent a fender roll kit? Or did you have another method?

Its increasing 1.5% I think.

I used a hammer and dolly to roll them. No need to worry about paint without having any paint

I'd have to move everything around, which would kill the original links, and i'd have to re-do hundreds of links to make sure the pictures stayed linked.

No thanks... I just upgraded. I don't mind though, i'll use it to post videos now too, since I don't have to worry about bandwidth use.

pxpxpunx · 03-19-2009, 09:54 PM

Ok, good, because you were redlining somethin fierce. Careful not to overheat, or blow something.

mechanizeddeath · 03-19-2009, 10:45 PM

I hope it wasn't too costly of an upgrade. I'm just glad you're sharing the progress!

SOA might not have any parts left to donate to the cause, but if they're listening I hope they give you some kind of award when this is all done!

Kostamojen · 03-20-2009, 10:54 PM
