    Hope you don't encounter any damp roads. Spin & win like Danny at Indy. :D

    You did the right thing, who knows what carp tire the dealer would have stuck on there.

    They make tires from carp these days?

    Who knew...

    Does seem kinda fishy to me tho.

    Didn't have to mullet over long to decide on getting tires myself...:p

    Actually bought the car from an individual, not a dealer.;)

    "200+ RWHP, not bad for a 2400 pound car!" Very nice! It is exciting to anticipate that exhaust update. Hopeful the install goes smooth. Maybe put up a video of the sound if you have a chance.

    A while back in the thread minimark asked "How do you like your MS6-GT?"
    I like it quite a bit. Love the AWD system on it. Practical 4 door until you choose otherwise. Turbo is not as fun as S/C for everyday driving, but it does pull hard through the revs when I get my foot in it. Point and shoot. :biggrin5:

    Looking forward to next steps in your adventure :drool
