No used tire shops around? $20 each for something with a little life left.

I think were all feeling the financial pinch right about now. Zach, would hate to see you miss the meet. Bob is right there are tire shops out there that have tires pretty cheap. I paid 35 bucks each for my front two tires and they have plenty of life left in them. Just something to consider.

I don't think he'll be able to resist coming to the meet, don't worry. ;D
I'm feeling the school pinch a little bit... I'm going to have to skip a workday at school for the FSAE program. I'm going to have to work my tail off the week before to be able to make it. I sure hope it all works out!

We have had tire issues of our own. In the last month, I had to replace my 2 front tires. Liz had a blow out night before last and had to replace a front tire, and Yvonne had a front tire seperating that we had to replace and we still need to replace a rear tire that has a slow leak. Yeah Collins, I know all about the pinch. I have 30 bucks to my name until I get paid on the 12th. Money is super tight right now, but I am going to do my very best to be at the meet.

Cant wait. Lance I am going to put your brain to work so we can figure out why Silver is running like someone stuffed Corn Cobs up her tail pipes.

Throwing codes for random cylindar misfire and 02 sensor. The 02 sensor wouldnt make it run that rough I dont think. I believe I have a vaccum leak, but I dont know where. I have horrible backfiring from underneath the engine compartment. Especially when I try to lay into it. I was throwing a code for TPS, replaced it and did the TPS and Idle relearn. Hoping that once I get her up at the meet some of you Aurora gear heads like Randy, Dan and Lance can help me figure it out.

just a heads up:
went to the Aurora Chamber of Commerce this afternoon. The entry fee has changed! it's now $20.00 in advance or $25.00 at the door. i gave Shannon your number Liz so she can send you 3 entry forms for you, Tommy & Yvonne. if you don't hear from her soon give her a call. Tommy you might want to do the same to save yourself 5 bucks and waiting around that morning. Shannon 417-678-4150

LOL, no that really never occured to me. As small as my Chihuahua pups are its a possibility that one crawled up in there to hibernate.

it's not too hard to imagine a wasp nest blocking it off either.

Check the MAF screen. My car was running rough one day and I checked the screen, a piece of foam had gotten in there and was blocking half of the screen. Removed the piece and that fixed it.

Well everybody, it is unfortunate. But I will not be making the trip. If this had been set for just a few weeks later I would be perfectly fine. But unfortunately I am in the process of purchasing a gas saver/econo box. Along with the tire. Not only is money tight, but I can not afford to miss a single day of work. And with my schedule for work only being thursday through sunday it would cut my time down to one day. And I can't live on that. Collins, Randy, Lance. I'm thinking that maybe in a few weeks we can all meet up one weekend. Grab a bite? As long as collins doesn't object I would make the trip back to Kansas with him and visit for a day. I needs me some Sara and bear time! For anyone that is on the fence with this trip. If you can financially afford it. DO IT! It really is the highlight of the year for myself. The people you are going to meet will be one of the best crowds known to man! They are going to accept you regardless of skin color, income, whether you sleep with a man or a woman, it doesn't matter. This club has tied me to a small bunch of people that I wish lived in my back yard. Point being, if you can do it. GO! You will not regret it.

Dude! I really wish you could come. That sucks, man! But if Randy and Lance are willing to make the trip up here you are more than welcome to stay in Lawrence and chill for a weekend. I'll find us some cool spots to take pictures, and we can chill and do everything just like that second meet that I went to (Zach's first.) haha. Don should come too! I know it's a long drive but it'll be sweet. We'll have to figure something out!
I'm still planning on coming, I can't wait! It won't be the same without you though, Zach!

I would consider it, but unlikely, because money is tight and my job is unpredictable.

Im gonna do my best. I have Silver in service. She decided yesterday that she was going to start bleeding gas out of one of the top engine fuel lines. I had wrapped the line and tried to make it to work with her and that did not work so well. I got lucky and didnt catch the engine on fire, but I probably lost about 5 gallons of gas in five minutes time. I am hoping they can fix her on the cheap.
