Never worn one.

Never worn one.

Navy issue Peacoats are excellent. I have no idea what you civilians have to use, but it may be good too.

I have this one:

Ok I found a pic. Posting against my better judgement probably. He's 63 in this shot and while not young looking I think he still looks good for that age. Maybe just me?

That jacket looks far too impractical.

I can take any jacket I own, and go outside to do physical activity, with no real concern that it will get torn or stained.

That chick in the Supra drift video had some nice tits.

The Patriots performance today was simply embarrassing.

I did not work out this weekend, which is bad. Largely, I didn't have time either day. Yesterday was spent working on a car, moving tires, swapping tires, patching up a transmission, then going to work. By the time I got home, it was below freezing. Today was spent tarping over a damaged roof, then hooking up the heater in the shed. Now I'm totally fatigued, and that makes going out to lift a possibly risky thing.

 

[MotF Bane]

Need a lot more sleep, and better sleep, at that.

I found some 235/50R17 Dunlop DZ101's that I could actually put on my current wheels... and priced at just $120 new... $480 for a set, plus $40 shipping. Right now Dunlop has $80 off four sets, so that's $440 to my door, then about $60 to mount. $500 for high performance summer tires that fit on my current alloys. That's... not terrible at all.

 

[MotF Bane]

235 on 7" wide wheels is pushing it a bit (235 goes on 6.5 to 8.5), but it is approved.

My current all seasons could probably sell for a couple hundred tops on CL.

 

[MotF Bane]

Each year I'll be spending somewhere around $120 to swap the tires twice.

If I buy a second set of wheels, then I'll have a problem with TPMS, where the car computer can only remember four sensors at once, I'd want eight.

I prefer the word "hilarious."

1/2 my mother is Chinese.

Narf.

:hmm: mixed folks always look good... Are you sexy?

Oh, and I realized my car has a dip in the headlights... right behind the facing piece, there's an edge dropping down, leading to the upper bay sunk reflector.

Now, the relevance: I've seen a few projector retrofits for sedans, and they'll all appeared to have a cut through the facing piece. What I thought was a cut was actually this dip, it's already there from the factory, and that may make the difference I need to fit the FX-R in shrouds into the top without doing damage to the headlights.

:awe:

 

[MotF Bane]

Still planning to keep the factory 35W ballasts.

 

[MotF Bane]

I'm tempted to buy new ones... 55W. But I'm pretty sure you can swap ballasts later, and the projectors will beat the reflectors even at 35.

TRS has introduced the G37-R shrouds... yes, inspired by the OEM G37 shroud design.

Will require trimming to fit to FX-R.
