I know, ever since I got my twenties a few months ago, I've been washing my car myself. I am getting REALLY nit-picky with everything. I wash my car every 4 days. Am I getting obsessed? <my poor back>

Hey at least I get some good cardio work in

Hee hee,..... Lexus Guam hand washes all lexuses for us for free... they have some sort of spotfree and sealant thing that keeps the paint looking shiny..I zaino my car every 6 months and the car looks brand new xcept for the minor swirls that those idiots at the bodyshop did.

Anywho... I have the Michelin Pilot sports on my stock 16's... these wheels are amazing. Just one thing... HELLUVA expensive. My dad is still getting really pissed that I spent ~$900 on tires. OH well.. I hope these at least last.

Had been used Pilot XGT Z4. Pretty good tires but they are expensive. When I bought these, Yoko AVS dB wasn't available at the time. Now I'm using AVS dB, personally I feel that the dB is better in terms of performance.

I'm thinking about using Yoko DNA ES01 for my next set.

I'd probably ship a set either from Japan or Hong Kong. Not DOT approved? I'll ask around and make sure before I ship.
