Seems like we need one on here to talk cars, mods and the coolness of your or their car.

Interested? Chime in

Not to mention I think the staggered stance on a RWD muscle car looks better anyway.

Makes it feel stronger when you can break them loose at 1500 rpm. Can't imagine putting down decent power on a 245.

My little car has 275's on it. Going slightly larger with new wheels.

Mentioned same earlier but seems so odd a tire for such a high HP. I have 275s on the back of my M3 and its got hardly the down low muscle of that challenger.

The best I have done when babying a tank of gas for a week commute.

I have crossed the line into homoerotic dreams about Chiefsplanet.

I was having some problems with my Mustang's tires in my dream. Had to figure out a leak from the valve stem and why my spare had gone completely flat. Fixed this issue and came back to the garage with radiator fluid all over the floor. The screw on the drain plug had come loose even though I didn't touch it. I panicked, knowing I am far from Mr. Fix it. I looked up stuff on youtube but still didn't feel comfortable. I reached into my pocket and remembered I had JasonsAuto in my phone even though I had never called him before. Since I had never actually spoken to him, I didn't know if it was appropriate for me to call him but I needed serious help. I panicked again and then woke up.

You can call me in your dreams anytime, if I don't answer it's because I'm still awake.

Ive earned a later bed time

Lewdog, the official reeruned car guy back with some really dumb questions.


Found the old mufflers from my Mustang. I will never use these again. They look like they were cut off from the exhaust piping pretty close too. Are they even usable for anyone like this or what should I do with them?






Also found the window louvers, completely still wrapped, brand new in the same box they were bought 10 years ago. If I wanted to put these on, where/how do you go about matching the paint as these are clearly unpainted.




Also, I've had no more dreams of Sauto.


I am hoping my post tonight changes that.

[SAUTO]

I think those louvers are supposed to look like that.

I would trash the mufflers

[SAUTO]

Does that stripe look crooked to anyone else?

Really? Just matte black I guess. But doesn't even really look matte black....just unfinished.

Dude, that's a terrible job. Definitely crooked.

Woof.

[IA_Chiefs_fan]

Mufflers can be junked. The louvers can be left black or painted.

Looking at pictures it appears I could have been totally ****ing wrong here, lol.

They are usually painted.
