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

Monte Carlo is a surprising 11.92" on the front. Thought it was smaller because the brakes suck

Tha Camaro has 11" rotors and 14" wheels. Do I win anything for that?

I upgraded to NA8 brakes on my Miata because I wanted to spend more on rotors/pads for the same amount of performance. :(
 
I have a damn good feeling that the Prism is more reliable than 95% of the Proteges still out there.

Probably, but it no fun to drive and sucks every bit of life out of me :(

Haha, I'm just kidding. Big brakes are badass, especially when they're stock. Did you hear Corey and I talking about his 250 motorbike on Sunday? I'm okay with a 250.

Do it Evan. For 4.5k, being brand new, 60-70mpg, and cheap insurance it is a winning all around. It might not be fast, but still plenty fast to go on the highway and weave through traffic. Mine is very light (Barley over 300lbs) and very nimble.
Brakes are just like penises on the track, size isn't everything. ;)

Stock MSP rotors and calipers FTW!

Pads, Fluid, Cooling, Rotors.

I finally got to use my pads at Mid-Ohio for what they were made for. A bit overkill for the street, but I need to upgrade my brake fluid. Porterfield brakes are the s***.

You have to show up to be able to compare though haha ;)

AJ is going to need a miracle to catch me in points now. I might be able to run the 2 for the rest of the year and still take 1st in SMF for the year. Just giving you s*** AJ, but you better show up next time rain or shine.

Did you hear the word "penis", Fez?

I wonder who does have the smallest front rotors here? Will and Marc might be tied with their Miata's? I would include Jess but I don't think she has a penis.
lol you would be correct. Anthony and I are tied with itty bitty 1.6 brakes. The rear rotors are especially hilarious.

i laughed out loud lol. I went the sport brake route on the green car.

if I ran 13s on the green car, I wouldn't be able to go anywhere lol. At least while looking ok. I had 13x8s on it before and couldn't fit a broom handle under the frame rails...
 
picked up new wheels (new to me) last night and selling the extra stock set I have tonight and I'm breaking even on them. 250 for the new wheels and selling the stocks for 250 as well whoo
 
I too have to work Friday, atleast I can work from home. The bad part is I'm the only one in the entire company working Friday, but its better than taking a forced PTO day hit when I have no plans.
 
I have documents due next week, so I'll be working today and Friday. Going back to work at the garage this weekend, gonna be handling keys and the radio since I can be sitting down.
 
I put in a vacation request for Friday because we don't get Friday off. My boss needed me to wake up at 5am Monday and Tuesday morning (this week) to do about 10 minutes of work both days. In exchange, my boss gave me Friday off. So I didn't have to use up a vacation day :)

I still have 6 days left, but I don't have to use them until March 31, 2014. It's nice that they give us the extra 3 months. Most people get to December, realize they have vacation days left, and can't use them because everyone requests of for Christmas.
