just hate people who spend 50,000 on their cars and do not [know how to] drive them.

That's what got me.. When I jacked the car up that high, gravity took it away from me.. Park brake or not, when on uneven ground the car will tilt and gravity will handle the rest..

Yeah, I stay away from any type of incline when jacking up my car.

So I pretty much spent most of the day driving to Houston and back to pick up my grandparents. Was a somewhat fun drive down there, but I had to drive like a grandpa back

After todays trip, I need to get my oil changed now lol

I picked up some 6000K bulbs from one of the sponsors and it very very nice, the bulb output is so much different than the D2R reflectors. And I'm fan of the LED's even though it's Euro style and whatnot.

I can't remember if Blake had any issues with his but I swapped over the ballasts, plugged the new D2S bulbs and it worked like a charm! Although I haven't checked if the fog's are working

I'm sure R1 will try to get me to convert the fogs to HID's and change the turn signal lamp

take a look at the fog and see if it works..I know on the first production models which i believe Blake got from me since I was the first owner the fog just made the LED's get brighter and the fogs would only come on as Bright lights since they are H3 bulbs and not H1 like the newer 06's
