I should have new BFGs coming this weekend. Would a used set of Pirellis with 20,500 miles work?

I installed the Technostalgia lights on Sue's Camaro last night. I opted to remove the tail section for ease of access. I think it was the right decision....was able to take it inside - nice & cool - to work on it.

They look great - but, the best part was the look on Sue's face when she walked in the front door and saw the rear bumper of her beloved car sitting on my desk!

Thank you for the offer, I truly appreciate it. I decided to bite the bullet yesterday and ended up ordering a full set of the BFG Sport Comp 2s. I needed tires, and buying two sets gave me leverage to get the price on the Taurus' tires lowered. That bullet tasted bad, but my new tires get installed today!

LOL I have 53,000 on mine. Fronts are actually still good...Not quite to the wear bars, but I replaced them anyway.

You're going to love the BFG'S. I've had mine since late April and they are SO MUCH better than the Pirellis there is almost no comparison.

This trip was amazing last month for the Cruzin' the Rim show in Show Low.
Glen has arranged for rooms at the Paint Pony Lodge in Show Low (same as last trip). They will give us the same rates as the car show participants. $80.99/nite, or $70/nite for military/government. 928/537-5773

This is one you'll want to attend. I can't think of a better weekend cruise in the state for the driving experience, scenery and cool temps. Tell the boss now you'll be sick that weekend, you've got a trip to take! Besides, Glen needs somebody to race...

They are great! Better ride, quieter, much better traction, and the wet performance far exceeds my expectations. I didn't like to drive the Pirelli's in the wet because they hydroplaned bad. These are working great!

You can go thru Technostalgia's website or Apex-Motorsports website. There is a waiting list on both. Technostalgia supplys the lights to Apex.

Ok everyone it's time to tell you all the news. Samantha and I will be moving to San Antonio. I will be leaving on September 15th, I will come back November 2nd to help finish up the packing. Then on our way to Texas.
I know this a bit of a shock, but this is something that we have been working on for a long time. Samantha has a lot of family close and i have 2 half sisters in the area also. So for her this is a well needed step in her life as she needs to be close to her family.
I want to say thank you to everyone for all the good times I had with you all. I don't think I have never met a such a cool group of people. I can honestly say you are all my friends and will stay in contact.
I would like to do one more get together and have a good time talking about cars and other things. Let me know when it's good for you guys.

I see how you are Will. You take the only allocation for a ZL1 in Sierra Vista, and export it to Texas! You may be forced to leave that behind (along with the smoker)!

Wish you, Sam and the girls all the best of luck in your move. It's always a pleasure meeting up with you folks. Wish we could do it more often.

Not much time between now and your departure, and not much for car events either! Too bad you won't be around for one more Cars in the Park. We need to plan a going away gathering in the next two weeks. The only event in that time is the Bisbee Car Show on 1 Sept.

Bisbee Car Show.pdf

Or we can just gather in Sierra Vista at the diner or Sonic again? Let us know what works for you folks first. I'm sure you have a large "to-do" list before you go.

We'll certainly hate to see you go, but glad it works for you and the family. You'll always be part of the club!
