Notice any difference between the old and new tires? I'm curious to see if I notice any difference once I finally mount the new ones I bought for mine.

The Uniroyals I have on it now have been decent tires, but I didn't want to buy them again since they're not an "in inventory" tire and it bugged me that when I had to replace one I had to screw up my matched set since I couldn't wait the several days it would have taken them to special order a matching replacement.

Not much difference at all between the 2. Have around 210 miles on it since yesterday morning. I'm happy with em so far

Just got back to Houston from our week of annual meetings up in Nashville -- it will be nice to get back to normalcy after a solid week of meetings and frat boy humor.....

Our leisure outing this year was pretty fun -- a few hours of skeet shooting in the morning followed by go cart racing in the afternoon. In past years we've done the Jack Daniels tour, a NASA tour down in Alabama, visited the Corvette Museum and manufacturing facility, etc.

Sound's like you had a fun trip! We're over here waiting on the bad weather due to hit at midnight...this 80 degrees in January is just crazy! Got nominated to boil some crabs tomorrow by my daughter to entertain her friends. Good to have Vietnamese friends that fish crabs for a living and another that supplies the wife and I with Pho soup and spring rolls! Hope the rain stops by midday tomorrow.

Couldn't do anything to speak of today, damn wind is flat out rediculous. Started at 30mph sustained then by noon it's 40mph. Tonight's even suppose to be worse with up to 60mph Gusts. Hopefully tomorrow is better, hate staying in the house

Had a little bit of fun yesterday! It was nice to drive the truck again. It stays parked for a few weeks at a time while I'm rolling around in the Mercury

I took a slow motion video of this and it turned out really cool, but I'm not sure how to post videos on here so a screenshot will have to do. You get the idea.

I've almost lost all hope of people. Dad was inside convenience store yesterday evening, went to pay for his drink and peanuts, he pulled his wallet out amd some little ****er grabbed it out of his hand and took off. Dad swung around to try to get him but barely missed. He said a older gentleman took off after him but he couldn't keep up. Ended up he had 180.00 cash, bank card, credit card and a couple checks etc along with other normal stuff.

sure wish I would've been around, he'd wish he never done it.

Yep! They started doing that with the extended cabs in '04. There are even switches on the rear doors so people in the back can roll them down! It is pretty cool. Honestly if they didn't roll down I probably would have had to buy the crew cab because my dog needs to be able to stick his head out the window

Wow, that's some high risk theft. Amazing what some try to pull off.

It's such a pain to replace the contents of a wallet, nevermind the lost money.

Especially here in Texas -- lots of open carry and concealed carry and law enforcement that tends to turn a blind eye toward low-life punks like this!
