By the way, you might want to check that your ML is fit for this long trip you're taking to California and Las Vegas: tires, fluids, brake pads, etc.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to prepare an emergency kit of some sort in case anything goes wrong on some lonely stretch of highway.

Vic,

Stay away from 360 forged, they have scammed many people, just do a google search on 360forged and read about the quality and other various issues.

Also, stay away from ADV1 wheels, the guy that was running 360 forged (Jordan) started up another wheel company.

Take a look at some Vellanos!

I didn't know the Canada line skytrain was so freaking loud, well it actually wasn't that loud, it was mistaken for jeffields car.

On a side note, I saw the guitar hobo for the third day in a row.

You took that line from Vic.

I think its more funny when that cop asked you to race...


Also Brian If I were you I would say, "If only you dont use that special button"

+

Also I would have raced him because you wont get in trouble because it would be entrapment.
