I have some on my car right now, but they're on my car which is at Ellis's shop getting the clutch rebuilt. I'd gladly loan them to you if I had them to loan.

Sorry bro.

Cool, you have the new High def TiVo. I have comcast hi def and dvr, however, I also have a standard def tivo but it wont record in wide screen, hi-def or surround sound.

as far as the traction,
I've gotta get a feel for it sooner or later,
I'm currently running the BFG KDWS tires (400 treadware)
I won't be hitting the juice in first anyways. (can't get traction N/A)
Hmmm, it says 60 to 70% chance of rain, and that's a raw deal as it means it will rain.

I have wheels and tires that will allow the car to be moved if you want to loan them out. I can drop them by The Groo Master's if you'd like.

Really? My Tivos all show it in whatever it was shown in (widescreen, surround sound, etc) just not Hi Def unless it is recorded/being watched on my hi def receiver (once I get the hi-def satellite anyway). Just waiting on my new HD TV and for DTV to get out here and upgrade my satellite.....guess it would help if I called to make an appt for them to.....

That would be cool, but then I'd have to go all the way up to Marysville to do the swap. Not worth it in my opinion.

Thanks though. How is you car coming along? What are you planning for the upcoming season?

The weather channel just showed 80% or rain Saturday and a 60% chance Sunday with showers on and off all day.

Bad news.

Looks like we'll all be watching the game then.

I don't think your really recording HD 16:9 widescreen on a 4:3 standard def TV. More likely it's a letter boxed pic into the 4:3 ratio. They do have a true hi-def Tivo out theses days, but hasn't been on the market for to long, which may be the one you have?

If someone want's my TiVo for cheap, it's yours. remote, manual, cables included, and works great for standard def 4:3 tv shows.

Rain forcast now says 60% day then 30% night, so it's getting better.

----not trying to argue-----
I am not recording anything in HD right now, didn't say I was......and what makes ya think my tv's aren't widescreens? The HD TV that I am picking up IS also a widescreen plasma........ Currently if I watch on a 4:3 tv it shows letterbox........but on the widescreens it should be normal widescreen 16:9, correct?

Is that 55inch big screen, or 55 widescreen? I assume it's WS. I have a little 34inch WS, but was an early adopter and that was just about as big as they had in HD WS at the time. Currently looking at 42 inch LCD 1080i/1080P for the new BlueRay HD DVDs. The 1080 progressive pic is absolutely mind blowing, real close to 3D on a good set-up. I also built a HTPC so I can do ls1tech from my easy chair on the 34".

Oh, yea, they called off the drags, couldn't get the track dried off, so got a pass for next Sunday.

I didn't hink we were arguing. Just from what you posted it sounded as though you had a 4:3 set, no worry. You will love the new set-up, WS and HD for sure. One thing I might add, when looking for a new set, maybe get one capable of the HD DVD, and that'll be 1080i1080p capable, not just 1080i. The HD DVD is great (1080p), best pic available. The PS3 plays the new BlueRay HD Dvd format, or ya can get a seperate unit.
