.They are 215/65/16's and I got them out the door from discounttire for $633. Not bad considering I was looking at paying a little bit more for steelies and tires from tirerack.
Was that price with the new wheels? I checked their site and they didn't have any wheels for the Dodge under $149/ea. Final price from tire rack, including shipping AND including TPM sensors, was $1,129.05.She said the ride feels the same as her all-seasons and I know once the white stuff falls she will go from

Yup....that was wheels, tires, lugs, hubcentric rings, valve stems, mounting and balancing and free shipping. Forgot, they were running an internet promo of $50 off a complete set of wheels and $50 off a complete set of tires. So with the promo and free shipping it was a no-brainer for me.
For anyone who has a commute along any of the metro boston highways, check out the following site. It provides a history of many of the failed highway projects in and around the Boston area. Many artifacts of these projects can still be seen today. An off ramp to nowhere in Somerville, a cloverleaf in Canton, bridges and roadbed in Revere. Had some of these projects been completed, the traffic problems we have today (including those that necessitated the "Big Dig") might not have been.

In particular, a corridor, nicknamed the "Southwest Corridor" was cleared to extend I-95 north straight into Boston. I-695 would have formed a loop around Boston linking I-93 the "Southeast Expy", I-95 the "Southwest Expy" mentioned above, I-90, Route 2, Route 3, I-93 north of the city, and the "Northeast Expy" beginning at the Tobin Bridge would have carried I-95 to Danvers.
It makes me wonder whether the projects would have been a success, and whether congestion along 128 would be better or the same.

Very cool, I am checking it out now.

what ever happened to getting my car repainted? that s*** fell through quick and never returned
s***, they even wanted to drop a highway right in my back yard. It would have started near the coast in Nantasket, connected to where Ikea is in Stoughton (Rte 24), passed through Sharon (I-95), Walpole, Medfield, Natick (I-90), etc...
Wow.

Yes, Josh started a thread earlier.
Supposed to be 43 here tomorrow. Going to take advantage of it and install the new front pads and stop by the mechanics to get the 'passed' inspection sticker.

only students are allowed to use the shop now after the 3 break ins we had a while back.. i could pull some strings but i dont want to get me or the professer in trouble.
i can repaint the car when i get my shop up and running.. im thinking of putting a paint booth in bay #4.. might not be a really nice one but itll do the job.. grand opening still set for june
my car was used during a lesson for all the students, then i decided to get some hands on experience myself, while being watched over by a professional of course.. currently its getting the corksport exhaust welded up completely, should be back on tomorrow.. painted the intercooler black today, looks better..
josh a quick question
how soon after ur black car was painted did u put wax on it.. i dont see the need with so much clear on the car to do it right away, but i figured id ask a detail pro.
the no (sleep) paint code.. seriously i didnt sleep for atleast 40 hours. and dunkin donuts was my friend
