Default Rebalanced slicks.....

We threw the slicks on the balancer today to see how they changed since the slicks we're moving on the rims about 1" per pass. We also added wheel screws so they would not move. One was out 2.5 ounces and the other was out 1.5 ounces.

I saw those on another post. You mentioned these on Thursday. Look very cool. Looks like we'll have 5 of us cruising down to MIR in the morning.

I'd put NO2 in the car but then there'd be no room for groceries.

Tell Sam to put on a nice clean shirt and drive the pi$$ out of the car. Company's coming.
