Well duh.

Come on now Jason, the men are talking here.

I'm supposed to get 15-30k out of my Nitto Invo tires based on how I drive. Pretty soft tire from what I can tell. They say they are designed for staggered size tires but who knows. I run them a bit higher PSI to get a bit better mileage on my daily commute. Or drop them some if I want to test my speed.

No tickets, but I know every cop around. It's hard to even get rolling without spinning the tires

I like learning from you guys. Thanks.

BRC, I saw a red Scat Pack Hemi yesterday up in northern Arizona. God damn, that car is straight up sexy.

I just want that 3.9. Don't know if I want it as bad as the cost for different tires to get it.:hmmm:

I don't think its illegal here in Florida. I still have the catalytic converters and resonators on there. I definitely have the tint twice as dark as legally permissible. We don't have emissions or safety inspections here in Florida.

Very similar to Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radials. I had a set for about 1,000 miles that were just roasted.

Went to a Nitto drag radial and they are about shot at 2,000 miles but not really near as soft as the MT's.

I am actually considering Nitto NT-01's for my new wheel tire combo though.

I don't know, and doubtful. They do have a bed tent as an accessory.

It's gonna be the daily driver. It's more luxury than work lol.

That stuff is pimp. Rode in a friends new GMC last week, makes me want to get a new truck but I haven't had a payment in years and mine is still doing fine.

The tech in the new cars is off the charts.

Adaptive cruise control allows me to set my desired speed and if I run into traffic, the car automatically speeds up or brakes on cue. I can set how far or close I want to hang back from the cars in front of me.

The audible and visual alarms are a nuisance if I veer out of my lane or should be braking to avoid a collusion. But, its tuned correctly, I should be braking.

The blind spot alarms are the best I've ever seen in a car.

I got a warning and reading on a leak in a tire in real time. It let me know the exact pressure. Showed it going down. Let me know how much time I had to get off the road.

Remote start or shutdown the engine, lock or unlock the doors from anywhere in the world.

The car runs a vehicle report once a month on itself. It sends the report to my email. The detail is tremendous. Tracking charts etc.

The performance pages have so much detail that it will let me know the g-force in the passenger seat.
