Yes. I highly recommend it. You get the PSS installed, change your avatar and then just sit back and wait for the chicks to start rolling in.

Ahh, you worry that perhaps the guys are gonna go "there"? Meh, we keep it clean. :tup:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, on to the PSS

Yep, they're on, and it's bittersweet! :):(

Tires are awesome, and much quieter than the stockers (granted the stockers were down to nuthin'). I'll know more once I start to wear 'em in. :)

Wheels are damaged. :crying: Why does this sh!t keep happening to me?! ANY time someone touches my wheels the fark 'em up! :crying:

I had a pre-install inspection, and we both agreed there was no damage on the wheels. Then, on post inspection when I pointed out damage on three of the four wheels...they denied that it had anything to do with them. That it was "impossible"! Dude said he'd take it next door (to the car wash) and have them "buffed out". I said "that's great, but it's not going to repair the damage".

Deny, deny, deny....:shakes head:

Once more the dude was all "that couldn't have happened here" and I stated "THEY.....WERE.....NOT.....DAMAGED. We inspected them together".

Needless to say I have the number of their mobile repair guy. They didn't even have the common courtesy to apologize. :mad:

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuu Tire Kingdom!

Brought the Z in to get detailed after a week of not being able to drive it (work trip).
However, I'm opting to go to play int he first softball game of the season (dirty, dusty place) and it's expected to rain the next 4 days. Bad timing for a detail appointment.

Also gave up going to autocross tomorrow.

WHat is wrong with me.

I decided to give them an opportunity to take care of me. Shoulda listened to my gut. :shakes head:

Oh they will most definitely be paying for this. I assume they will likely lose money on me. They quoted me $141 before the work was performed, but when I showed 'em how much it was supposed to be (according to their contractual obligation with Tire Rack) they brought it down even lower than it should have been. A mere $114.

Edit: This isn't my first rodeo with damaged wheels.

I've been trying to look for a car mount for you and after some research through some PDA forum (including the famous xda-forum), I am suggesting you the OEM Droid 4 car mount by motorola. The OEM one comes with a single arm means it is more sturdy thus it will have less vibration.
:tup:

Got a call from the service department today, most likely the Z won't be ready until next Tue or Wed..... :ugh2: Driving the Altima right now, but the sunny&warm weather just making me missing the Z very much..... :crying:

hey mr. alcheng- thanks! :tup: yah, i think im going to just use the motorola cradle for my droid4 for now and get the ball join adapter that i can screw onto the Proclip base. there's not many areas i can mount a bracket on the G, and i dont want to use the suction cups.

sorry to hear about your delay'ed pickup on your Z. :( yah, altima's just dont cut it. it's like driving a camry. :ugh2:

that sucks. did you take picts during the pre-install walk through? can use that as proof. regardless, the store needs to pay for the fix. might even want to consult with your insurance agent and file a claim.

Good afternoon Mr.kenchan. Good to see you found some time in your busy schedule to take a break.

My break time is done. Back to the Dad thing for me, nap time is over. Hopefully I can get out and clean up the Z later. It really needs it.

Wasted a dollars worth of RE-11 banging 2nd gear at redline.
Now that I think about it... that was a dollar well spent.

Happy sorry about the wheels. Hopefully a good resolution can be found.

Watched the F1 qualification today. Took the Z out for a couple quick trips and then a decent wash and detail! More driving tomorrow. Sunny and cool tomorrow. Perfect to exercise the power :) :driving:

Hi guys. Just got back from spending money :ugh2: I found this random orbital polisher at Auto Zone. Car Polisher | Dual | Action | Boat | RV | Care | Quality | Motorcycle | Wax | Shurhold I like that it is shaped like a Makita grinder I have. Got a solar cover for the pool. Pool and spa maint chemicals. Picked up some Smirnoff Ice. No luck finding a 14' trampoline enclosure. Have to do a search and see what I can find.
Hope everything comes out good with your rims.

Brantly, sorry to hear about your wheels dude! Thats terrible:mad:

LunaZ, I agree as well. That was a dollar well spent:tup:


I just finished an interior detail and an exterior wash. Tomorrow I will wash again and paste wax as well as touch up some little spots that are Plasti Dipped.

Guys I have to tell you how stupid I've been this week. I've been posting in another thread about meeting with some guys going to "the" car show at Carlisle. Planned breakfast and dinner and that we would all cruise into "the" show together. "the" show I was talking about is next weekend (Imports and kit-cars), they where talking about Performance and style show this weekend. :facepalm: :iamwithstupid:
