Having to put coil overs to lower the car is absolutely not a necessity when adding larger wheels to a car. If you're interested I can send you a few pics of my car to give you an example of what it would look like w/ larger wheels w/o lowering the car.haltz wrote:I traded it in for a black on black G37x - unfortunately a sedan instead of a 6spd coupe like I really wanted. I use my girfriend's Honda Pilot fairly often and she can't drive a stick. Also I really dig the AWD it turns out.IMADreamer wrote:What did you get?haltz wrote:You'll be happy to know I got rid of the Prius for something a little sportier. That's not bad idea.
I blacked out the chrome around the windows and I'd like to put some larger wheels and lower profile tires on it when I need some new ones anyway in 6 mos, but apparently that means I might need to lower the car a bit or it will end up looking like a 4x4, which sounds like a pain in the ass and pretty expensive. Got any pointers?

Re: Random musings
My daughter just totaled her car because she was driving too fast in wet conditions. If it weren’t for airbags they’re likely would’ve been three dead.
Repeatedly tried to teach her why was a terrible idea to drive so fast. She knows everything. Maybe she learned something this time.

Holy [expletive]. Glad they're alive. I assume there are injuries, but hop they are minor.lukethedrifter wrote:My daughter just totaled her car because she was driving too fast in wet conditions. If it weren’t for airbags they’re likely would’ve been three dead.

I don’t understand why people turn off avatars. Seeing what folks pick for their avatars is one of my favorite things (true I have no life) - plus it makes it easy to recognize posters when scanning a thread.

I'll probably get roasted for this, but the number of "people that legitimately need a service dog" has gotten out of hand in a hurry.

I agree. One of my cousins once insisted that she had some issue and needed her dogs to fly in the cabin with her. She even went as far as to get something from a 'doctor' stating such. She doesn't need those dogs around. She's just a lunatic.cardsfansince82 wrote:I'll probably get roasted for this, but the number of "people that legitimately need a service dog" has gotten out of hand in a hurry.
Thankfully I don't personally see much of this stuff. I regularly see a couple of people with service dogs on the bus but they are legitimately blind.
