Theta Chi Founders Day BBQ with the Delta Mu brothers (University of Texas at Austin)- parked on a hill steep enough to knock on the door of a nose bleed

A rock punctured the condenser. I'll need a new one but it comes with a new radiator which is really expensive. We're just going to drive back to Dallas without A/C and begin a more detailed search for parts. Not good news but not horrible either.

Went to the beach today. Setup the umbrella, had the hotdogs and Pringles and read my Nook. I love lazy Sunday afternoons on the beach! :tup:

I did happen to get something interesting caught in the frame of one shot (somewhat intentionally)! :)

Didn't do anything with the Z, but saved my sister $500. Sears guy tried to lie and tell us she needed to replace her 2 rear tires (she brought it in because it had a leak and also wanted to check alignment). He lied to my face that the tires had hit the treadware warning lines (forget their technical name) and said they looked like they were falling apart while vaguely pointing towards the overall sidewall. He seemed pretty suspect to me and it's a good thing my sister brought me along. He quoted $500 something for 2 rear tires for her CR-V. I knew Costco would be cheaper if we even needed tires which I doubted so off to Costoco we went. The Sears guy never looked for a puncture either, just tried to sell us tires.

At Costco, the guy said the tires were fine and also that patching the tire would be free and we didn't even buy the tire from them.

The bottom line is that the Sears guy was a sleazy liar and my family will never to there again.

mr onzedge, since you are the foremost authority on all thread posts related to the PSS tires. Has anyone had them long enough to go through them yet and did they post how many miles they got out of them?

The pads are a cool color. Too bad nobody will ever see them again:icon17:

I love that they let cars on the beach in Florida. I remember cruising down the beach w my gf at the time back in the late 90s when I lived there. Very cool. Cant do that in Jersey:shakes head: Where exactally do you live Brantly? I forget.

Money is meant to be spent. Im a spender not a saver. I earn it, I spend it. The cycle repeats.

I mentioned a while ago that I was going to get a mountain bike. I was going to get a cheap one but didn't like it, so I got one a little more expensive. I also dug out my old bike rack and used the S2000 to take it home. I also went grocery shopping with the S2000. It's my utility vehicle. :icon14:

I'm going to assume this is not covered? Well, I can then further assume you will likely not go OEM for a replacement, eh?

I love those s2ks! They just look like so much fun to drive. Do they respond well to bolt on breathing mods?

Not really. They are pretty much tapped out N/A. If you want more power it's best just to go FI.

Mine is stock and is gonna stay that way. Still super fun to drive.

I know Ive stated it before but I did a little stint in St. Augustine. I currently have friends in Melbourne and a very good buddy of mine is down by Ft lauderdale. Looking forward to visiting him down there.
