Brown Santa just dropped off some new meats for the rear.

Nitto NT555 Extremes. 315/35-17's... Can't wait to get these POS Sumitumo's off the rims!

Brakes are shot, so went ahead and ordered a full rotor / pad kit from BrakeMotive. 184 shipped; hard to beat for the money. This will be the third vehicle I've put them on. I've never had an issue with them.

Oh, and popped a P0135 for the third time in as many weeks, so new Denso O2's are on the way as well. It's time though. These O2's I've been running were the originals from back when I had manifolds...

Well, I got out of the FBody game (for now) and sold my car. Got raped, but I knew better than to build up a beater with a **** exterior and SHOT interior.

Picked up a 2004 Corvette. M6, stock other than a Corsa axle back and Blackwing.

Time to start over!!

Greetings. I just moved to the Breaux Bridge area from New Orleans. I was looking to see what kind of car scene or clubs are going on near my area. Clubs? Cruises?

I'm not much for "meetings" and "cruises" anyway. Always leads to some form of tom foolery. For me I'd rather bump into someone and talk shop for a few minutes.

Me to. I like to talk shop with anybody who's into cars. If anything comes up I will definitely be there. Thanx everybody for the replies. I moved up here from NOLA. Problem with NOLA is everybody is anti-social and more worried about who's car is better or faster then just hanging out with other gear heads and just being part of the car culture. The car scene never really came back after Hurricane Katrina.
