Default Why stop spending money now? (image intensive)

It's the week before a race...that means its time to spend a lot of money on things that won't last very long...

I noticed this first at Carlisle and it got much worse at an autocross a couple weekends ago


Well...Appalachian Race Tire to the rescue. Cha-ching!



I had two Hoosiers in fair condition on one pair of 15x7 wheels, and 2 sticker tires on a set of 15x6 OE wheels. Well the 15x6 wheel just won't do. Since I've already got the checkbook out why not get these:


Speaking of wheels and tires...why stop with the race car? These were busted and the truck wouldn't pass inspection with these...


...so I bought these. Cha-ching!


But wait - there's more. I've mentioned that I keep losing tools. Here's how I solved that problem:


Please make it stop.

It took me a while to figure the first picture out. At first it looked like your garage floor or something. Now I see the cords. Nice chest! Can you take that to the track? Maybe you should spend a little more and get a spare tool chest welded to the trailer.

I dont know which is more disturbing, all the stickers on your fridge, or the fact that you took a picture of it to show off.......

Nice chest! Can you take that to the track?
Thanks. Yes and no on the portability. That thing is 3 pieces - the top piece has handles in it. I've got a reasonably complete set of hand tools in it now. Long term the goal is to have two sets of hand tools - one in my usual blue lugaround toolbox, and another in the cabinets. That way I'll avoid what got me into this mess in the first place - taking the garage tools to the track, losing them/misplacing them/lending them out and having to buy replacements.

dear god... where is your money tree?
Tax refunds for homeowners 0wn.

As I sit here debating if I can afford the gas to drive TO Summit and back... you do realize you're just rubbing it in by pointing out that you bought Pirellis for your truck.

Damn dude. That's impressive.

You won't find it, cause it's just a big ugly root system, which will begin to uproot the foundation of my life in the near future.
You know that little plastic card that you cut up(but still wrote the numbers down for emergency use?)... Well I have several of them... and i just keep using them.

There's...not much place for you to be if you crash with me, as I'll be sleeping in the Suburban. See, all these tires means no posh hotel accomodations for Karl.

And I do think you're wussies for not coming.

Nice booty though. Christmas in June for sure.

Scott, who is sure Karl will never ever again use sticker Hoosiers to instruct at a driver's school.

Actually I'll be less pissed than I would have been otherwise. I'm showing up with less excuses.

you bought Pirellis for your truck.
At a significant savings over what new Michelins would have cost.

Matt-who would like just *5 minutes* under Karl's money tree....
