    Sheen got the stereo and boom-booms reinstalled into the floodan lastnight. God it feels good to have tunes again! And trunk rattle...el-oh-el.

    Thanks again brotha! Hope that the turkey tasted extra tasty after all of that!!

    Yeah those front speakers are breaking in nicely. That little 10 bangs nicely too. Surprisingly balanced sound overall. Glad you're liking it!

    9oz turkey, 2 tablespoons pb, powerade zero, and vitamins... took longer to re-heat the turkey than it did to eat all that... even with the dogs begging for pb.

    That's my way of saying "drive faster, grandma!"

    Lol, sorry about that, I've done that a few times with my own cars with those husky liners too. Should have double checked the floor mats, re-checked, second guessed, removed, reinstalled, then realized I got it right the first time... since that's how it seems to go these days!

    Dropped it off with Chris (Flawless Front Ends) for 35% all the way around. Picked it up and left the wife's Forester with him for door handle scoops.

    Got a package and they couldn't put it in the mailbox. I am hoping for early spring now! I am thinking the "guts" for these will come Saturday.

    Car was all done, waiting to be picked up and then a 70yr customer in his Toyota Sequoia decided to back into the front driver side fender and door! Had to bend the door back just to open it. All I could do was shake my head and laugh at the whole thing because I just can't seem to catch a break with this car. Insurance is dealing with it all but GEEZ!

    Thinking the car may be cursed. I think it may be time to look for a new car.

    Tell me about it! What you can't see in the picture is the brand new 2.5 block under the hood with less than 11,000 miles on it!:unsure: It sucked, but a positive attitude about it and some perseverance and now she's completely back together and running strong. You'll be alright, just let the insurance deal with it and park it behind a pole once it's fixed!lol

    Everyone should just buy a 2 post or 4 post lift for their garage, and park their car 6 feet off the ground. Problem solved?

    ^You speaks truth. But shotgun vs. bad driver and unsuspecting outback=Win?

    It would be cheaper for me to get 4-6 empty 55 gallon drums filled with helium. Then i could go fishing in it too.

    Are your stock tires 235 series? I'd be curious to see them stacked next to each other to see how wide the Federals run.

    Stocks are 225. I can stack them different and take a picture. The stocks are a bit stretched right now so it might throw of the size difference. I will take a pic of them again once I get them off the wheels.

    First hand, 2 sets Enkei RPF1 in 17x8. 245/40/17 Star specs on one set, 235/40/17 (federal doesn't make a 245/40/17) Federal 595RS-R on the other. I laid both wheels on the garage floor and set a long straight edge across. Maybe 2-3mm difference between them. You can tell the difference between the 234 & 245 series in the speedo and gearing, but the width is pretty negligible. The Federals will pass for a 245 series easy. (I think I have pictures somewhere...)
