That’s a pet? I don’t do spiders.

How’s the tortoise, Bob?

So here's my thoughs. I measured the distance from my outer wheel wells to the sidewall of my tires using a plum bob, averaging each side to account for uneven ground. I'm getting 10mm in the rear and 25mm in the front.

Now this having been said, it might be more cost effective to get the cheaper 5mm rings from Z1 since I wouldn't need to extend the studs.

...and bolt on 20mm for the front.

https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-pro...mm-p-5392.html

That might work.

Coughed up something this morning that looked like a large blood clot covered in mucus.

Normal if you've been sick. Probably feel better after that.

I’m actually pretty luck myself. The wife pushed me over the edge in buying the turbo kit. She’s also the first one to tell me when I need time with my boys

I go to get off the elevator back at work and a group of people are on the other end. Everyone sees me as I proceed to walk get off. Nope, fat old miserable lady shoves past me to get on. Not in the mood today, i just looked at her while speaking to everyone saying "thank you for not being fat c***s." Her mouth just dropped as I walked away.

My wheels are tucked in after installing the springs. Not horribly bad, but enough to irritate me. I could just easily get some spacers, but as much as I drive, Im a little concerned about safety. Ive put 20k+ miles in a little over 4 months - I drive to Az frequently and my job has me driving alot to different locations. On my trips to Az, its not uncommon for me to cruise at 80-85 mph.
Plus I dont want to remove the wheels to check torque on the spacers as often as I will need to!
