^Tony, would you be interested in helping me swap out some parts on my car? They're letting me pull my aftermarket parts if I replace with OEM. I can give you parts or money....Hell, lets organize a "Dismember Tenblade" event! whatcha think?

Am I the only Old Geezer who wakes up early? As I get older I wake up earlier and earlier. I feel like I slept in this morning: 7:05 AM

Maybe I should drink more before going to bed

Over past little bit, I've noticed the later I sleep.... the more tired I am.

This past week when I've woken up around 730 I felt more awake than when I woke up at 1030 the past two days.

From those choices and a cleaning standpoint, I agree with Ric.

Those aren't bad either, but I really like the look of Porsches with fewer/larger spokes.....maybe it is just me

I normally do, too, however, those 5-spokers looked gimmicky for some reason and more work to clean.

Also, it's actually hard to tell how the wheels will look on your car. Reason? The windows on that Porsche are frightingly clear. The light passing through the car causes your eye to not focus on the wheels, subdueing their effect. If your windows are dark, matching your car, the only contrasting item on the car will be the wheels. In that sense, the wheels will become much more of the focal point and need not be gawdy to garner attention.

I'm just trying to look at the car a whole and not the wheels as an individual piece. And it's only an opinion,but my overall view of the car is no longer just a visual one.

It depends what time i go to sleep... this weekend i was going to sleep between 2-4am, so i was waking up about 10am. During the week recently, i got to sleep before midnight, so I typically wake up before the alarm... about 6:45
