My Car is ridin' dirty
Thats right. I took my car out of storage last night.
Swapped my 17s on today and shes lookin fly
Couple things. i never realised how smooth and quiet my car is to drive, AFTER i remove my 19s. It doesnt rattle anymore, it isnt stiff and bumpy, the steering feels awesome, it doesnt sound like my wheel bearings are going out anymore when i stop. Just wierd.
I think i need brakes though. Because when i slowed down from some higher speeds, the car shook like the wheels were falling off, but yet, it was still smooth on the freeway.
Tires help! I drove in a snowy parking lot and it actually stopped and moved with my A/Ss.
But yea. i figure, im only going to have the car another 2-3 years, and each winter it will be driven, so 2 months it can handle. Im also going to hand wash it every week at the do it yourselfer.
But man, it feels good to be back behind the wheel of my own car.

I put smoked corners on my black G and to be honest I don't really care much for them. I think i might buck the trend and put the stockers back on.
Shoot me for being silly, but i think the looks of a stock unmolested G35 looks a hell of a lot cleaner than one with added stufff on it. Some guys do mods simple because "it's the thing to do" but i've seen some cars posted that just have too much done and look "ruined" to me. Granted that's my opinion, but i guess my tastes differ from a lot of other guys on here.
Texan's car is a perfect example to me. I wouldn't touch a thing

Thx, that's what I'm trying to prevent is "overdoing" the look in general. Clear corners are ok, but I still have amber in my stock signals in the headlight housing which I'm not wanting or willing to mod to clear. I think by having amber, it's like I did a mod to be different from EVERYONE else running clear corners
Hey wannabe, are you going to keep your 19s or sell them?
