I believe she got some Forgestars

I would assume she posted photos up somewhere, but I wasn't around this past weekend.

I would like new wheels, but the cost per unit of happiness is too high. I would rather spend a few hundred bucks to repair all of the nicks on my stock Rays and save the extra money for performance mods.

If I could find some used and mint F14's or the like, I would consider them immediately. That way I can get rid of the spacers.


But then I have to lower the car too and get new tires. Snowball effect.

So....somehow one of my locking lugs is missing. There are no scratches around the area and the stud is still there. I'm not sure if this means it fell off somehow or if someone deliberately took it to get a key made up and come back to get the wheels.....

I would buy a new set of locks -- just to be safe.

I am, just need to wait until the vendor opens on the west coast. Also getting a garage today. It's going to end up being a walk to my apartment but oh well.


Can't have nice things.

you know...disclaimer: I have only talked about doing this...
How hard or illegal is it to wire things up so that your vehicle will set off a shock when touched?
I'm assuming this is illegal or it would be common place.
But grrrr, thieves annoy the h3ll outra me.

lol good idea but not going to work it would interfere with a bunch of other things since majority of the car is metal and conducts electricity

basically you would have one big short circuit once you turned it all on for the first time…… might do a lot of damage to your cars electrical system to!

best bet is to buy some kind of security system either an alarm or a dash cam.

another option is buy two sets of locks so they need to use the special tool two times more per wheel thus making it more difficult and taking a lot longer. also the lock removal tool is only good for so many uses before you need another and they are not the cheapest
