Had a weird dream last night. Was taking part in an urban downhill bmx race. Now I want to do it for real

My toll road transponder hasn't been working correctly for a few weeks now, and I've been too lazy to get it fixed. Last night I had a dream that it started working and woke up pumped... My life is exciting as hell.

Those look baller TC.

Any of you guys have experience with Federal tires? Found a set of four Federal 595's in 225/45/17 for less than 200 brand new, and that is certainly a little bit less than the other tires I've been looking at for around 600 a set. I've read mostly good stuff about them, with a few negative reviews that have me a little bit worried. For the most part, just looking for a decent set of tires for dailying on, and I'll still have the RE11's for track and autox use.

I shouldn't have bought new wheels, haha

I can't remember ever burping up chunks of food, unless they're the vomit burps.

New exhaust. Tomei Expreme 60R, full titanium pipes, weighs less than 11 pounds and sounds heavenly when bringing it up to redline, then snap, crackle and pops it's way back down to idle.

I said suggest a middle name for my child, not recite your own name you fucking twat. It's not all about you, Cole.

Sorry, I got caught up in the moment. In that case, you should probably definitely go with "Bastard" or "Should have been a stain on the mattress instead"

They should have notified you that the reno's were going to happen on x date for y long. Not entirely sure what your possible options are, but dig through the Landlord-Tenant Act and see if it mentions anything. Failing that, call the Landlord-Tenant Board.

Prodigal, apparently the Michelin pilot sport 3 a/s are really good. I'm about to switch the Bridgestone Potenza re11's for them. Mostly because he Michelins have a 70000km warranty while the bridge stones have nothing because they're classified as an auto cross tire.

Looks nice master!

Just installed a roof spoiler today. Very pleased with how it turned out. Too lazy to upload a picture, though. Up on IG for any of those who follow me.

« on: March 17, 2015, 01:36:29 PM »

looking forward to moving to minneapolis and starting college at UMN. i graduated high school with a 300 out of 390 rank 5 years ago so shit's pretty huge for me. nice to see a lot of hard work pay off. i've also lived in the same city my entire life so the move will hopefully be refreshing.

I feel you on that. Got accepted to school for electrical engineering starting Fall 2015. Just gotta be able to quit my job during the school year and get it back during the summer time and then hopefully get a co-op from them.

Didn't even think of pulling the fenders. Duh. The most obvious choice... I'm not all too concerned about the ability to go back to stock, I can always find someone to trade fenders with me if the time comes to sell. Just don't want to cut them up because I don't trust the body shop to get a good seal again to stop rust from the inside.

I wanted to wait on the wheels, but we've had pretty consistent above 5*C days here, so I think it's safe to say there won't be another blizzard. Luckily, I'm starting up the surveying season again in a few weeks so I should have a work truck by next week and if it gets really shitty out, I'll just use the truck.

Speaking of school, I just got accepted to university for electrical engineering, but I think I'll be putting that off for a year to pay the car off in full, as well as owe my company less money for the apprenticeship courses I've been put on in the past few weeks. Real life is a bummer when it comes to hobbies... Unless you're Sokolaka, then you have all the money in the world for toys.

I keep tossing around the idea of getting a bike again. Goliath has one for sale right now in the Canada classifieds for a pretty dang good deal (if what I remember from BMX part value is still accurate). But I don't have anyone to ride with anymore.

My (limited) time spent at the trails was always a good time. Although now that I'm old enough to buy booze and I don't need to pedal an hour across town to get to the trails might make it that much better.
