Air compressor? Car cover? Trunk organizer?
The thing about car gifts from the family is that left to their own imagination they would never think to buy you sway bars or anything specific. A big box, eh? Probably not a motordyne M37 UIM.

A quarter past stripped
Hey guys, I have a question and kinda need some advice. The other night on my way home from work (11ish) I was doing 65-70 on the highway. In front of me was a mini van doing roughly the same speed but was weaving a bit (texting). I switched lanes and punched it just to pass, but when I did the back end broke free and I fish tailed a bit. Honestly, it scared the **** out me, I though I was about to loose it.... My car is lowered and I have 2 month old Falken Azenis tires wrapping 20" vossen 084's. I need to know what could have caused this. The tires are practically new, the highway was dry, and the car was tracking straight when this occured. The traction control light did light up and I DID get out of the accelerator as soon as I felt the back getting loose. The only thing I can think of is maybe the road was getting slick from the humidity of that night. Any thoughts?

Air compressor is on my wish list. I'd love to get one just to blow out water out of my mirrors and grill after a wash. Nothing worse than getting those drips when your G is clean. I currently use a leaf blower but it doesn't have enough juice. Plus I can use it for all of those other wonderful things.

I just accidentally unwrapped the M45 shift **** I asked for... If gifts to myself count then... Stillen roof spoiler, FI CBE w/upgraded X pipe and 12 inch resonators and.... I think I'm going to do my engine bay. Found a couple pistols I had to have to I put the tires on hold for right now.

Yeah I saw that one too. If I don't get it for Christmas I'll probably pick that one up. And by the way, the box is just about that size and weight. Maybe my wife thought she'd be cute and by a vacum (not a shop vac).

It was just scary. I've broke traction hitting turns to hard before but not ever at speed and steering straight and true. It could have been from a previous accident. That highway I was on is like a drag strip, straight and the posted limit is 70. People wreck on it every day.

I haven't decided on color. With Diode Dynamics their 6k was considered pure white but I've heard others say that 5k is really considered pure white. I may just go with 6k even if it has a little blue tint to it since my license plate lights have a little blue tint in them.
Whoever owned my car before me did a great job of turning the front bumper into swiss cheese. I was going to wait to get it done but after waxing my car yesterday and realizing how bad it actually is I may move it up my list. I want the front chin but was wanting to wait till I got the front bumper repainted.
