I haven't read a whole lot since my last post, but I think the pothole argument is ridiculous. First of all, I also live in Colorado, and I have yet to see a pothole here as bad as the ones on Ft Bragg in NC. I was driving one of the back roads in my 97 Prelude with stock wheels and tires and potholes covered the entire road, I'm assuming from the Abrams crossings or something haha. Anyway, yes it was night and vision wasn't the best, but I was dodging constantly and still hit a pothole and blew the stock tire and bent the stock rim. I would love to see what it would do to your stretched tire. To say someone hits a pothole because they're retarded or any other reason is retarded in itself. If you haven't driven the roads they drive how can you or Chance claim to know so much about their potholes or how easy they should be to miss?

Where in CO are you anyway? Maybe your potholes are harder to miss yet your skills compensate, but I doubt it.

I will not run a stretched tire on my car, but I'm not going to jump into the tire debate because it's pointless. I will admit that maybe running a stretched tire will help in drifting (I've never drifted so I can't make claims for or against), and not stretching a tire is better for grip racing and for the street in general, but neither side will concede to each so it's pointless to argue. This should be added to the list of things you don't speak about at the dinner table, along with politics and religion.

Oh, fun with names.
RETed- probably Rotary Engine and his name is Ted
RotorDad- probably because he loves rotaries and he's a Dad
So let's see, sofaking...retarded? Is that last part missing?

Let's see what brilliance you come up with for speedjunkie. I'm prepared to take namecalling, let's see if you are. Or we could just stop with the childish name calling. What do you think?

I also tend to have a real problem with people that sign onto a forum just to start shit. I'll say my goodbyes to you now for when Brian gets back on with his banhammer for spammers and trolls.
