Ordered some three-piece True Forged Chicanes for the '15 today, satin black with chrome assembly hardware, 20x9.5 up front and 20x10.5 in the rear. Now I wait! Would love to hear your opinions on tires. Looking at 275/35/20s up front, 305/35/20 in the rear. Continental ExtremeContact DWS or Cooper RS3-S's seem to be the front runners as of now. Would go Toyo R888s or radials but the tread life is horrible for those options.
All kinds of things going on this week.
Bryson got his learners permit yesterday so ya'll might want to stay out of the Thomasville / High Point / Greensboro area for a couple of months. LOL.
Jen's mom and dad finally sold their house and have already gone under contract on a new smaller house much closer to us...like 4 minutes away...
Last week my friend Justin from Colorado (if you were at the St. Jude fundraiser at the F-Ville strip you might have met him) was rearended while on his motorcycle as he was turning into the parking lot of his work...he's an emt on an ambulance. He actually saw the guy coming up behind him and sped up to lessen the impact and somehow he never went down. Rode out the crash, put the kickstand down and got off the bike. Then he passed out and came to in the ambulance. No serious injuries just felt like he got run over by a truck. Which he did pretty much.
Then today we got news that an employee of one of our best customers passed away from cancer. I dealt with him on a daily basis for about a year. He was probably 45-50 years old and just a good dude.

Jeff, I see why you traded the Mustang for a Jeep.
It's going to be OK...

I'm going to have to check the official Steve,Dana & Larry retirement manual on this kind of physical exertion. I can't imagine anything requiring this much effort can be acceptable under current guide lines. Sorry JJ...I'm issuing a cease and desist until the retirement committee has it's next meeting.

Congrats...You da people!!!

Sorry to also hear about cancer claiming another. It seems to be quite a bit of that going around.
