    A piece of metal caught me on the Brucker Expressway in the Bronx this morning and put a gash in one of my tires and killed it. Anyone around here have a SINGLE Potenza RE-01R in 225-40-18? Used is fine, so long as it hasn't been plugged.

    My friend Arthur and I went out last Saturday to the neighborhood of Williamsburg and took some pics. Not bad for a car that is 99% stock :laugh: The car is an '08 with a few cosmetic mods, and even fewer mechanical mods. Check our Arthur's other work at http://arthurl.zenfolio.com/
