95% of them are pieces of shit now days. I don't even really bother buying/selling used parts anymore unless they are from someone I already know.

The car scene has moved almost entirely to facebook it seems. Which is terrible for trying to track down any info. The majority of young car enthusiasts now days are little douchebags. Now get off my lawn.

That is why i think as I am getting older, it's getting closer to the time to move onto an older person platform. I just can't get over the amount I have invested, probably keep me in this car until I die with that mentality though.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

This. Another problem is getting any type of actual technical info is near impossible as every discussion quickly turns to arguments, bashing, butthurt, and name calling regardless of the topic.

Maybe all these years scheides was right. ffb.

Is there a sweet corvette in here? supercharged yet?
Any more sweet road trips?

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Yes. No. Last ones were northern MN/Canada in July, Shreveport in August, and the poker run two weekends ago!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!

What sites do you go to for vette parts and mods, info? Ive scoured a few of the main forums but just want to see what you use.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/
Those are the forums I use, tons of aftermarket and OEM vendors on there too.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

This is also true on the BMW forums. You have to dig through pages and pages of posts to try and find one post with good information.

The one type of post you forgot are the total car noobs who post threads like "How can I make my car faster?" or "What body kit should I get?"

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Cool yea thats the main one if been searching too, lots of info out there!

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

And the spririt of competition stickers and windshield banners, etc :D

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

X2.
Bmw forums are horrible for info.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Hey, I actually LIKE how my car looks without stickers. Just a lot of it was necessary for either the Optima series or getting me cheap/free shit. ;)

I was talking about Hughes old X. Thing was perfect, now its getting the full on teenager treatment.

Re: Meet GheyRay: Lower, Wider, Lighter!
 

Well that sucked.

I hit a wicked pothole in the construction on I-35E southbound heading into Dallas Saturday morning; the impact was BAD. Dash started going crazy with TPMS alarms and lights, pulled off at the next exit and found this tire destruction. Luckily they're run-flats so I was able to drive the car about 20 miles to my dealership and drop it off with them. The stock tires are of course back-ordered, and the nearest Chevy dealership with a set in-stock is down near Houston so the hunt for tires was on. Sunday I got in touch with an older gentleman in Arlington with a set of 2016 stock take-offs that had only 9 miles on them so I scooped them up (he had his dealership replace them with all-season before he took delivery), and will be bringing them up to the dealership later today. At the minimum, the wheel paint is scuffed but the dealership is going to have their bodyshop try buffing it out before sending it off for refinishing. Really hoping the wheels spins true and they don't find any further suspension damage upon inspection. They are also going to check the alignment and adjust if necessary.

Ouch that really sucks.

Fingers crossed!
