Oh interesting.... I’m weird enough that over time I found out what most people drive. How I made friends with the cornflower blue GTI, dude. And lowered Si dude.
if chally dude will get along with me, as he was mean.
I'd love to make friends with some of these dudes, but our building is nearly as big as the pentagon. They could be anywhere. Short of stalking them in the parking garage, or leaving a note on the windshield
I doubt it'll ever happen.

I just hate the harshness from the sidewall. I guess that can be tuned out with suspension? Maybe they're worth picking up.

How about sending an email to "everyone" or "all employees"? I'm sure there is an alias if you look in Outlook.
I think I told the story before but back when the John Wayne bobbit story was fresh, a dude used the mass email alias to send a joke about the situation on his first day at work. Fired by lunch.

Yea I could tell a big difference in my C5, but modern tires/suspensions make it quite difficult to tell.
A lot of folks complain that lack of sidewall stiffness actually lowers performance ...
Also considering that I don’t have a spare or AAA this maybe the only way to fly

AAA is cheaper than the price premium for Runcraps. I raw dog it in both cars... have had to use the AA a few times

I have spent time trying to figure out the enthusiast car owners here... there aren't many
Mostly modded
that all of the executives drive, and I don't really bother talking to those guys.

We use Google, not even outlook. No idea how alias's work, but not really interested in finding out...yet.

You missed my post about getting them for 1/3 cost.
I ain’t paying the new prices ... it’s $900-1000 for runcraps on the mini

I'd
on the PSS wheel/tire set, try to lowball. Use the tires for 20K miles, then sell the set for minimum loss. Normally tires are free or close to it when bought used mounted on some wheels.

He is local, but it mainly makes sense if it comes with tpms sensors... I also don’t really like the look of those wheels, because they scream “aftermarket”.
Either way ...

Though, the first problem has been found, and it's bad. The driver's seat heater doesn't work.
