Good Morning EV1!
Keane:
Thanks for starting the Morning Blog!
Wow sounds like everyone on is pretty much up and ready to meet the day head on!
Hope everyone has a Great weekend at The GM Nationals!
and for those of us not attending...have a Great Weekend!
Its already super hot and sticky here! Its suppose to get worse in the next few days also. I may just go out and get some new wheels for the Monte today...Nothing fancy....just "new"... There Voxx Pulse wheels...
Inexpensive yet stylish. At least thats what I think.
The only thing left I have to do is vaccuum the trunk out on the Monte...
But, its so muppy in the garage...and with the threat of rain...That makes the humidity even climb higher!
Tad:
Looks like its gonna rain on thursday. Man I hope it doesnt show up til we are well out of the area! With all this preparation we have endured over the past cpl days to get ready to go to the show...Especially your with polishing up the underside!!!
Devin:
Good to hear your not suffering to awful bad...lets hope it continues to be a non issue for you til your surgery!
Mike: (chibi) have a safe trip and enjoy the GM Nationasl!
Mike: (Space Rider)
It would be cool if everyone from the MCF could attend an event together...at least just once!
Be sure to tell Space we said hello and to check in soon if/when he can!
Have a Great Weekend EV1!

ps > I like your factory rims on your Monte 4 really > sure (lol) I would keep them on ?
However,
They are getting severely worn out ...spider web cracks...and highly stained...
Despite my best efforts over the years to take care of them....There deteriorateing under the plastic coating thats on them...There lies the yuck,cracks,spider webbing..... If they were still in good condition... i would definately leave them on! But there not...
If tire rack had a store locally....
I would buy them from them in a Heartbeat! I like that style also!
There 17" and im looking for 16" that way I dont have to buy new tires...
Even if I ordered them today....
I dont believe theyd be here before thursday!

Good morning everyone. At work right now. It's. The end of the quarter rush at my job. Later, I'm putting in 4 complete struts, right side outer tie rod and Maybe servicing my trans.
Tomorrow going to south Jersey to assist my son in buying a new motorcycle. It's his first so he wants dad to be there with him. Of course, I will be drooling over the Cruisers while he is doing his final paperwork! One day I'll get another one!
Hope everyone has a Great Day and a Wonderful W/E!
