Could be very interested in them Hilton as I plan on ordering a new set on the 1st. About how many miles you got on them? Could you hold them to the 1st, us old retired guys get paid once a month.

Default Project No-Rocks

The Mission: To work on the cars at Steve's without getting filthy and stabbed by sharp rocks.

The Process: Build a properly reinforced 12x24 concrete form.

Frame complete, drive the stakes.


Corner adjustment for existing 6x6 post hole concrete fill.


Form completed and staked. Level your grade and dam-seal your edges.


Lay moisture barrier, reinforce with re-bar and mesh.


Concrete freshly poured. Look ma'... I have a slab!



Materials: Too much $$$.
Concrete: Too much $$$.
Labor: Painful and time-consuming.

Working on a Camaro without getting filthy and bruised by rocks: Priceless.

I was just wondering what you guys that use the Hoosiers think of them, I have been looking at the Quick Time DOT Pro Tire in a 26x11.5-15LT. Have any of you ran both the M/T and the Hoosier?
Wayne,i have tried them all and the MT are the better tires. Don't get a slick style tires for a auto setup. The MT drag radials will be the best tire for a A4 car. The 275/50/15 is the tire to run on if your staying with a 26" tire,i have cut a 1.43 60ft. NA with those tires.

Mt drag radial the only way to go on a auto car. If a 255-50-16 will stick my heavy *** car to a 1.44 60ft on the spray it should do fine for your set up wayne.

I agree with the deadness.
Well here's something, I saw a 2010 mustang last night, nothing special.
But then it hit it's brakes and guess what? Factory sequential lights, that **** literally made me jump in my seat with surprise.

I have alot more respect for the mustangs since I have been driving one for the last couple days. They actually run pretty good from a dig. They just run out of power about 90mph. They sound good though
