I had a good time tonight at Eddyville. It was good meeting some of you guys off of the board. I was just happy to finally run my car after owning it for a year and a half!!

Of course man, I really appreciate you handing them to me at a time like that. after some quick measuring they were just not going to look right with the TT2 wheels on it. So Mike hooked me up at the ws6 store for another set of studs.

The place I bought my wheels from the supplied the lug nuts were awesome to deal with and sent me another set no charge. Even tho Im pretty sure it was my own fault for not using lubricant on the studs.
