I actually went with some Conti's this go around to save about $300 compared to the PS2's.
I hate everything French, but I'm a closet Michelin fan as I really think they make a great tire. As for the Kumho I couldn't agree more...

I see you have changed your avatar - are we talking an audi or the REAL deal a supra TT from the early-mid 90's? Like this one since we are doing ebay posts tonight:

If you guys are going to talk ricer turbos, don't play around ... the limit on the engine was the accessories bolted to it. Turn everything off, under drive the power steering ....

Never had the engine break. Did bend the locating links for the left rear suspension going into third once.

(this one isn't mine)

TRICARE Prime ends Oct. 1 for retirees, family members - dailypress.com

Step one in the eventual dissolving of benefits for Military retirees. Hmm.

Just a heads up to all, I've barked up a number of trees this evening and have confirmed that there is a special deal for the Pinnacle Bridge program people that they will not have to have a degree like the rest of us had to.

Not only did they go around DALPA and negotiate directly with mainline mgmt, but now the ones that no airline wants will be given an expedited process for joining our ranks.

I would highly suggest calling your reps as I have to try to run this up the flagpole. This is freaking ridiculous.

Most of the Pinnacle pilots do not have degrees. I bet you when it comes down to it, very few without degrees are able to flow. They need the votes now though. I'm trying to be optimistic. I agree with you. The whole program is bs.

100% BUT........
How do we as a pilot group or as a union (Dalpa) control who the company hires?????

You posted an add for a AUTOMATIC Supra TT, that's sacrilegious!! Had a lightly modded B7 S4 way back, but went more subdued after marriage.
Recently got the itch again for "boost" and found a cheap 335 that I've massaged another 100rwhp and 100rwtq out of. Fun car especially b/c no one expects it. Currently in the market for a more reliable fun car!

This! While I'm sure we all are in agreement here we nor DALPA has any say on the hiring practices of DAL. That being said I'm still miffed that I can't get an answer out of my reps as to why DALPA wasn't involved with or even consulted on this Pinnacle debacle. What kind of precedent did ALPA just set?
