    Fredericksburg P5 spottings...

    I never EVER see any P5's around here, except for like one silver one at the Central Park Tweeter all the time. Well today, I didnt drive my car, I had to take my old beater in to get new tires. So of course, I see about 10 P5's all afternoon and I am driving my POS! First, I did a rideshare...

    Ever thought of what tailgating other people can do?

    You make a good point with this when you are talking about road trips where you can maintain a constant speed... 5 mph more makes almost no difference in time however it can be the difference between getting a ticket or getting overlooked by the cops. BUT... big but here, where the extra 5mph...

    Rusting lug nuts

    Ahh... the free solution, I like that one. I will try it for now, and if it doesnt look good, I will buy some Gorilla lugs and treat them well. I have never even removed these wheels, thats the worst part, they were put on the car and then we didnt drive it almost all last winter (damn I hate...

    pro5 or pro ES?

    True, insurance companies know, but they dont care. If it mattered, then they would ask you when you were getting quotes. Maybe a company like Progressive where they ask you EVERYTHING would care, but others dont. Something else in support of the Pro is that it is lower priced insurance...

    Rusting lug nuts

    The lug nuts on the Celica are rusting on the inside surface where the socket goes into the nut. I called the place I bought them (speedandstyle.com), plus asked around about this problem with some other guys here at work, and everyone said its normal, wont cause any problems, but it looks ugly...

    Wheelmax - What tires they give you in combos?

    Cool... my fiancee has the same wheels as you on her Celica, except 17"... Do you have a problem with the lugnuts they included rusting on the inside surface where the socket fits in?? This has gotten real bad for us, I need to get some new lugnuts...

    Wheelmax - What tires they give you in combos?

    I used WWW.SPEEDANDSTYLE.COM, they were awesome, shipping is always free, and they even let me haggle with them a little on the extra charges, they normally charge extra (over ad price) for mounting/balancing, but I got it for free. They also publish most wheel weights. They have killer sale...

    x-plan

    I hear ya, they market agressively, but there is just no good way around the economics of new car buying. Some dude posted recently that MSP's were being advertised for $15,900 or so. I could see that being possible at the right dealership that has a big surplus. My dealership (Arlington...

    x-plan

    That flyer you got from the dealership is just sales BS, has nothing to do with X-plan purchases. I worked briefly in car sales, hated it, it sucks, but I learned a lot... You can trade in your car without penalties: As if there are normally penalties associated with trading in cars?? You...

    P5 Newbie

    Oh man, that totally SUCKS... I feel for you. I hate when I do stupid things like that... although my last stupid thing was just a u-turn in a too-small parking lot that ended up curbing my rim, so its obviously not as painful as yours!! BTW, nice use of smileys... lol

    progressive insurance can kiss my a$$

    I went the lawyer route in an accident a few years ago... I regretted it. I had to go to a chiropractor for like 6 months before my lawyer could even offer up some kind of settlement. It seems they need PROOF that there is some kind of medical condition, and apparently in Florida where this...

    So you guys know the Navy Annex huh?? Yes, parking totally sucks, thats why I am happy to just keep my cozy office in Crystal City as long as I can milk it. My own office, not a shared cubicle... parking in a garage, no walking, no rain or snow or cold, one elevator ride up, and a mall for...
