Just waiting for the salt and gravel to get washed away, then the "S" will come out of storage.

So... I've been looking at weather.com and it looks like you guys can come out of your caves. I would imagine you're all chomping at the bit. Acton and Ohio/Pennsylvania seem to be close in weather about now. You all just wait for the roads to clean up and then it's a mass garage exodus?

Had her out yesterday, but there was a lot of debri and standing water. Now she needs a serious bath.

And I found out I still have alignment issues. This thing goes through tires like Aldo goes through hair gel!

Phil, could the car/frame/whatever be bent somehow? Didn't you have it aligned after Lake George, or was it Watkins Glen? It's not normal, what's happening with the tires?

Nothing's bent! *faint*


I had it aligned after Watkin's Glen (I still had the S at Lake George, remember?)
Good on nothing's bent.

I have to think real hard on Lake George and Watkin's Glen, always. Which was which. I just remember having rooms on a lake and diggin it. And I didn't really know you when you had your S, only your NSX, so I don't remember when you changed.

It's not nearly as bad as it was before, but it's still wearing the fronts on the insides. These cars are notorious for abnormal tire wear, but this is a little more abnormal than I'm comfortable with. I think it just wasn't done quite right the first time. They're going to look at it again and set it up a little more highway-friendly, seeing how most of the miles I put on the thing is getting to and from Vintage and Allegheny meets .
My car does the exact same thing. The factory camber spec for the front is a little aggressive. Great for handling...but eats tires quickly. I'm going to set mine with a little less camber with the new tires. Hopefully, I get more than 5K of tread life.

Major announcement....I have switched to mousse. My hair is softer and more natural looking. Dep hair gel has had me on their "thank you" program for years. I've been to Vegas 3 times just on hair gel purchases alone. I guess I will be expecting a call from their rep begging me to come back. I have heard their stock dropped a quarter of a point after I stopped using their product. Ahh, to be i such a position of power.....
