Conversation with the US border guard:
"where are you going?"
"blaine"
"what for"
"picking up tires"
*looks around the car* "where are you gonna put it? "
" right here, I took the seat out"
"you took the seat out to bring tires? "
"...... Yep...."
*guy laughs* "ok here you go" *gives passport back*

What sizes?

215/40/17 for fronts and 245/40/17 for rears

Lol. Awesome. Did you have to pay taxes and duties bringing it back?

Yes to taxes. No to duties. They didn't ask me where they were made and even if they did, it says right on the sidewall "MADE IN USA" haha.

Flowtech headers for the 440 Coronet. Fuck me puttin headers on a big block Mopar is no easy task. The power steering and torsion springs make it a nightmare!!

^^I think I saw your car parked across from BPG on Wednesday afternoon.

yes you did. I pay them regular visits

I bought a day at proformance race school may 28th. First step to some solo track days at the ridge/pacific raceways.:toot:

Bought Autoglym HD wax. 25% off all Autoglym products at CT.

Mind posting details? I'd love to try something like this...

x2!

not my picture, but the exact mats are on its way!!

^^Am I reading that right? $550 for the day?

^ Is that a good price or a bad price?

See, i'd be so down for this except the whole issue of insurance...

I don't think it's bad if you want to learn how to drive your car better or just want to treat yourself to a day of fun. Be it for fun or education, the cost is relative. Some people don't mind spending a couple of hundred bucks on a meal.

Another driving school I wouldn't mind checking out is Dirtfish.

^ fuck my life that sounds awesome, a bit expensive but not too bad considering how local it is. Slightly related is http://www.wideopenbaja.com/ which I'm hoping to do next winter.

Seems pretty good considering the instruction they have, Hooked on Driving is about ~$325 for a day but their instruction seems more based around getting famaliar with a track whereas ProFormance seems geared towards teaching technique as well. The tricky bit is that a lot of companies are doing a lot of different events and it's hard to sort out which ones help you work towards more advanced stuff.

It's not cheap, but it's the first step to being able to do lap days solo at pacific raceways and the ridge which are two awesome tracks close to home. Hell I'd pay 550 just for the solo licence, so I figure I get a free day of driving and instruction. I've heard from some people it's just a blast so I'm not worried about the cost.

^ Are you worried about the whole insurance issue?

You can purchase track day insurance but its crazy expensive. If you read ICBC fine print, it doesn't cover death or injury from "racing or a speed test" but nowhere does it say it doesn't cover your property on a track day. Either way. Its a calculated risk, and to be honest I think driving on a race track is 1/100000000000000th as dangerous as driving through richmond.

It might not specifically say they won't cover damage sustained at a track day, however good luck getting a claim approved...

Either way. Its a pretty safe track, lots of run off and I don't plan on being a hero. Its why I chose this car so I intend to use it without worrying about the risk too much. If the car ends up in pieces it was for the right reasons. Its engrained into our heads by insurance companies that "if you drive without insurance you will crash and explode a school bus full of children and be paralyzed and cyber bullied for the rest of your life" but just be smart and safe and things will more than likely be fine.
