Whoa, the Bridgestone challenge! I will actually be able to make this event! Too bad I can't get tires in time.

My Enkei's are wrapped in Potenza's so I'll be there. I just hope I can get a turbo in time. By the way guys, I'm looking to trade for these if anyone is interested or might know someone that would be:

Scratch that, I won't make it to the Bridgestone event at all. I'll be in Panama with the rest of my platoon. I leave on the day of the event too, what a pain...

Biggest reason on not getting tires in time is budget. I'm still in some debt and can't afford to miss a payment. If I didn't have this much debt, I would have some BBS RS-GTs wrapped in RE-11s by now...

Yup, Reserves. I have the opposite of what you have though. 6 years reserve, 2 years active. Haven't yet gone overseas because I thought my entire company will be deployed all at once so I decided to wait. 3 years past since I've been with the company now... I'm now hearing we're not deployable but I've been seeing guys left and right, getting deployed. Talked to someone and they said just volunteer for deployment, which I might just end up doing after Panama.

Edit:
Oh, I saw a GG X last night when I was leaving Macy's parking lot at Mayfair. It was wingless and had a "Flex Fuel" badge on the trunk. I think your tuner said you were running 450-500WHP. Who will claim this car?

Yeah, at Mayfair watching 'Shutter Island' last night.

Oh, and the lake was nice and quick today. Too bad the-moss wasn't there to show me how much I still suck

I know i suck at driving and its only my 3rd event...but damn, how do those FWD Snow Tire guys pull such good times? Ive always wondered on the straight stretches if its better to punch the gas a bit and slide...and wait for the wheels to catch some traction, or feather the gas?

feather. think "slower is faster" when driving. try and not let those tires spin.
