Morning, Rick.

94% humidity in Charlottesville. Yikes! Looks like you have rain and are in for more.

Its an old ZEN translation.

It means, to be nothing and desire no thing.

if you want the ass to come out, you'll be better to lighten it up in the back
less weight = less traction
Less traction is what is needed to makes under powered cars slide around more.

Where are you G?

You need to be posting!

Preferably vacation pics with comments - preferably regarding Rick and Dave.

actually wider tires are better, less weight/square cm rubber = easier to break traction
Though off course care must be taken to not increase the weight on an already under powered car...

280 on R18 sounds like a great idea in terms of lowering weight/square cm rubber, but the added weight in the wheel saps all life...

It is amazing how light my 15 inch Fuchs are. That is one reason I don't want to "upgrade" to bigger wheels. The other is that I am cheap.

Good morning guys.
