wow! can we say scraping the ground!!!!!!

ok, so my tires are bald. . . and i've been procrastinating on buying new ones. so it snows today and i had alot of powerslide practice!! i got home and my buddy had given me a set of 195 50 15" tires. they are BRAND NEW so i was like "what the heck" tossed em on. well, they look like rubber bands. it's hillarious. only thing is i can NOT hit speed bumps!!!!!!! not even small ones. even pulling into my driveway i scrape. . .probably because of my super manly sway bars hehehe. anyway, i'll post pics as soon as i can figure that out. it's already dropped 1.5" and now with this it's like ON the ground! oh, these are just for winter cause i don't wanna ruin my 17's. . .

Woah dude! Can you say whack?? Those tires (according to the tirecalculator) are 11% too small, 6.5mph off at 60mph, and a full 3" too short! You just slammed your car down another 1.5"!!

that's when i first got it. hence the "before mods" thing next to it. i had a set of JUNK bridgestones. decided it was time for new tires so we went to the burnout spot hehehe you should see some of our burnout pics. everything from a minivan to an accord to my max, gotta love it!!!! ok, i need to do something! i'd be ok if it wasn't for the Sway bars!!! that's what's hitting. I thought i wasn't gonna make it over the bump in my driveway and it's not that bad! i got on my knees and took a look under the car and it's just cause the "elbows" of the sway bars hang lower. hmmmmmmm what to do what to do . . .looks like i may have to go get regular sized tires for winter augh! i hate this.

BURN OUT

how do YOU burn out.. is it jus the power of your car??? im scared to do it. I can peal out and i hear the tires spin a few times but i dont wana hold the gas down... i once sprayed on that tire shine **** right on the tred and all over the tire .... then i just got the tire spinning a little the i just held the gas a little more then half way and they started smoking... that was fun whats the best way..... i guess just slamming the gas down but... i have seen ppl sure there brakes to hold the car back... how do they do that.. like cut the front brakes? lol L8rzzzzzzzzzzzz
