These guys make big rockets, there are others. You need a license to buy motors over H. :)

I put ag- 77 in a rocket I built from std parts. it hit about mach 4 before it turned to confetti, lol.

New Michelins on the Edge. OTD cost at Costco was $1211.50, which for a set of fat Michelins on 19" wheels ain't half bad. Especially when it included nitrogen, TPMS, lifetime R&B, and lifetime road hazard replacement. Discount was the same price but without road hazard. That was an additional $200 with them.

I never thought once that the LTXs were rough or had any road noise. They were great for being a block tread SUV tire on 19" wheels. These CrossClimates are SILENT with zero squirm at highway speeds.

You get a lot of stuff for free at Costco that the other retail places charge you for. For one, installation is included in the price of the tire there. Costco includes nitrogen fill and lifetime rotate and balance with their free installation, which most places also charge extra for. To compare, installation with lifetime R&B costs $96 at Discount Tire. Costco TPMS rebuild kits are also cheaper than the competition.

Most places charge half the cost of one tire for road hazard with replacement. Costco gives you that for free. Plus if Michelin (or the other brands they sell) is doing any sort of sale or rebate, Costco honors it.

If you're an Executive member, you get 2% back at the end of the year on all your non-fuel purchases. All of that put together means it's more than worth the cost of membership.

My Edge runs the 245/55V-19 tires. My OTD price at Costco was $1211.50 for the Michelin CrossClimate 2 (which included a $60 instant rebate from Michelin). The identical package at Discount Tire was quoted to me at $1599.86.
 
I used to get all of my tires at Costco. Then I realized my neighbor worked at Belle Tire so I just started buying from him, but basically what Derp said above. I used to get road hazard for free at Costco, but Belle Tire charges for it so now I don't get it.

I just had Goodyear Assurance Weatheready2 put on the wife's Passport and they look very similar. Those are 265/45/20 and ran about $1300.. these odd sizes are spendy, but they seem like good tires so far.
 
Matt, thats the same chassis as the '83 I bought from an ex-gf, for $1200 in 91, the car was a 6cyl pos, with a crappy trans. mine I painted flame red, after some stupid bitch hit it in the parking lot at work.
I ended up rebuilding it twice,lol.
The 6-cyl cars are missing a 16 gage floorpan in the unibody stackup, so if you put a v-8 in it it would twist the unibody, and the drivers wheel would no longer touch the ground,lol. I almost bought one that had a350, and a manual trans, and luckily I test drove it. It drove terrible, felt like driving a car missing a wheel.

Not the most sought after car out there but an early third gen Firebird on its original seldom seen and extremely 80s factory wheel covers caught my eye!

Great photo. Pattern, saturation, palette, movement. Except for the wheels. =] Cool car though
 
The mk is out of the garage, so I decided to grab a shot before leaving earlier today. The ugly protective seat covers need to go and I need to try again this weekend

I could have sworn the trunk lid lights did not work anymore. 🤷‍♂️
 
I really hate the pink,and those headlights suck; but the hood on those is 12 ga steel, you can put a blanket over the hood and fuck on it without bending it. I bet it would ruin a mn12,lol.
