Here's a day in the life of LA ricer dorks. Geez. I have a few other words I'd like to use to describe these guys but this is public.

I watched that prior to purchase. Unfortunately my car is made of american steel. The pliars are made of rice!

Can't believe they put that car on the dyno and didn't tie the front down! They deserved what they got.

I noticed the car was an import too. My car was built with wrenches not chop sticks.

Vall, I could watch You Tube all night. I was going to post a video of a guy using either to put a 44x12 Super Swamper on a 18" wide rim. Crazy thing is it worked, no hospital trip. There are a TON of video's with guys stretching 245's on 11" wheels. Stuff like that. Is that a new tread I'm not aware of? At least the guy with the Swamper knew it was a bad idea, I think he was amazed he could do it.

UPS HONK HONK! The semi just left. I got a hood. Then some bad news. Summit double billed me for the rest of my order. Almost a grand. Then the ****** say they are working with the bank and my credit card company. I explained this wasn't credit, this was debit and you took my cash. All I got was a lousy $25 gift card for my trouble. I"m sure I could have played hard ball and told them I'll refuse the next packages that are coming tomorrow. The problem is I'm a car addict and I'll take what I can get. I do need that money though, I was going to buy a new vehicle for the woman. She get's very impatient.

Seems the 2nd gens are the new hot item in all the catalogs and mags! That's good, but hope people don't get tired of seeing them! Nice of Summit to give you a gift card, especially if they get things cleared up quickly!
In 1999 when I was putting the Camaro back on the street I spent a ton with Summit. After I got it all going I spent nothing with them for almost a year. I got a free $80 gift card to "encourage" me to come back, because they thought I was spending my money elsewhere. Wish they'd do that again!

They can't give me an answer about when my account will get credited. Thats the only thing that pisses me off. It took 5mS to take my money and now its going to be a week before I can get it back.

Ok sorry I forgot the pics. I got a call from a guy on Craigslist selling a riding lawnmower. I need one bad because of an ankle injury I got when I was a teen. Anyhow,
