As far as gifts for my last birthday, i was required to travel to Orlando for work a few days after my birthday and a paid dayoff. So my boss paid for my 3 night stay at this resort hotel, and an additional $100 bucks for everything else, which I used for some gas and food driving down there. Also one of my excoworkers birthday was actually the day before mine, so we had a party of 7 at cheesecake factory on my birthday as well. It was just didn’t have the time to celebrate to my liking nor did it with friends this time, heck i was invited to one of my go to nightclubs, but I preferred dinner and got stuffed. But hey, I wasn’t :dissapoint: by any meanswap wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 10:38 amAt my work, every salaried employee gets a card signed by all coworkers and $25 cash.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:17 am
Honestly as I get older, i feel like birthdays are more like another day for me. Other than like a free dinner at a semi nice place. At work doe, one of the coworkers brings a cake for me, as well as other coworkers

Todays gym sesh was such a bitch today. Its ridiculously crowded, today was legday, however, i had an luck of not waiting to hit the squat rack (which is usually dreadful for my gym in the late afternoon), cause by the time i went for it, one of the users just finished and asked him to leave one pair of 45’s at the bar.

Yes. Good enough that Porsche uses TR as their North American tire distribution network.
Hold off till Friday. Discount Tire Direct is doing 20% off everything, apparently.

Looks like you need to get a credit card from them to get the full 20. Otherwise it's 10. But still. Their tires are 30 more per corner.
Tire rack has 16 inch blizzaks and steelies mounted and balanced to my door for $810 after the 70 rebate Bridgestone is offering. That's pretty good.

This was barricaded off for the past week. Now we know why. This is a few blocks from my house.

If the sale gets it close to 300 and i don't need to buy 4, you might see some shit. I can store them while i continue to use my perellis past the wear bars and murder children.

Dang. I should get some Pirelli Sottozero's to replace the godawful Michelin Xi3's.
Or some General G-max AS-05's. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.js ... &tab=Sizes
Man tires are expensive. Ugh.

I just ordered a set of Hankook I-Cept winters for the GTI. The 17" wheels I bought for the Mini will bolt right on with a hub ring, so I called DTD and they threw in a set of hub rings for free. $320.
I never send in mail in rebates, so I just figured I'd say fuck it and get them now.

Gonna be a few days late for the polar vortex, doe.
Factory Pirelli P7 Cinturato's are down to 3/32" front and 4/32" rear after 26,000 miles of 85% interstate highway miles, which is pretty awful... but the P7 is an awful tire so it is what it is.
I'll throw on some Michelin PS4S, Conti Sports or Firestone Indy500's depending on

I just ordered Nokian Hakkapalitta R3's for the R and it looks like they won't be in for possibly a month... wondering if I should wait it out or look for another tyre...fledonfoot wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:43 am I just ordered a set of Hankook I-Cept winters for the GTI.
