The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[iSpoon]

No idea if they will fit or not. My best guess is they wont. I would just keep what's on there now on the car year round. Might not be the smartest route on my behalf though.. (smash)

 

[o0n8]

it would depend on the tires

 

[iSpoon]

You just want something cheap to beat up in the winter right?

 

[o0n8]

right something cheap but better than summer tires for snow and ice,
i was refering to your tires on the vibe now wether they would be good in winter

 

[iSpoon]

oh, they are about bald now.. so good for winter drifting.

 

[o0n8]

well that can be fun, on my way to cincy talked to a guy at a gas staition who was hauling a 240sx with an intercooler twice as big as my radiator. He's trying to make it in drifting. wish i had my camera for that

 

[o0n8]

also saw a spicey parked in downtown cincy, didn't get a close look

Ah. Saw a blue one going West on 70 Friday. Probably going to the track down by Dayton. One of the guys at C&C goes down there with his SC300.

 

[o0n8]

probly goin to the same place

saw a red ms3 this morning (7:30ish) on 76 going east. I got beside him and waved and followed him for a while... He ended up taking the Barber Road exit, perhaps going to the Fred Martin Superstore??? It had black rims with a red lip. Pretty sweet looking.

The driver was somewhere in his mid to upper 20s perhaps with glasses.

Oh yeah, he didn't have Ohio license plates, they were solid blue...... I don't know what state, I couldn't read it.

I believe that's one of our Service Engineers where I work. I've seen the car around here once or twice.

 

[jri4]

It looked nice... He isn't on the forums, then?

 

[THE Phen]

If it was one of the service engineers, then no... he isn't. I don't remember his name. We have... a few hundred service engineers so just going over there isn't an option. I'll try to tag his car when I see it next.

I've seen two MS3s in two days!!!! this one was black, stock wheels, on S. Broadway going towards downtown Akron at around 8:00 this morning. I slowed down but he was 3 or 4 lanes over from me so I didn't honk or wave and I don't think he saw me... Anybody own up to this one? Middle aged (younger side) guy wearing an oxford shirt...

 

[iSpoon]

Was that you seeing your reflection in the windows of an office building? (sssh)

(squinty)(chair)(dark)(fuoops)

Hehehe.... It was kind of weird, I mean, you hardly see another car just like your own.... But no, it was not my reflection in the windows of an office building.... I am much better looking than the driver I saw (yes)

 

[iSpoon]

There is a guy by me with an SS MS3 that I have seen a couple times and other folks have asked if that was me. I mean I do only have different wheels so the rest of the car looks similar.. however.. the guy who drives the other one is a black guy and I am no where close. (cabpatch)

 

[jri4]

Don't worry man, next time I see a black guy in a SS ms3 I won't automatically assume its you....

So heading out of Akron's campus I saw yet another MS3... this one was white pearl and stock. He was heading east towards route 8 through the campus and I was driving the opposite direction. At least this time we made eye contact as we both were oogling to see the back spoiler (as far as I know that is the only surefire way to tell, since the wheels couldn't be seen!) thats #3 in just 2 days.... I'm starting to think I don't have a rare car now.... not that it was ever really rare
