“Tech could have said this and it would sound the same to me -

Speakin' uh cars, ah' should give an downdate on mah' wheels project, de reason ah' started dis dread. So far I've redone most uh de suspension, includin' heavy-duty shocks and da damn highest sprin'-rate sprin's ah' could steal. Put some new idla' arm on in an attempt t'fix some control issue dat ah' still aint figured out. ah' tried an adjustment t'de steerin' backlash but it only made mah' handlin' wo'se. What it is, Mama! ah' might try anoda' adjustment now dat ah' gots' de new idla' arm. 'S coo', bro. I'm now pricin' out some possible steerin' box replacement and ball joint replacement as mah' next possible handlin' culprits. Probably befo'e any mo'e steerin' components git replaced I'll need new tires, so's I gots' also been pricin' out new wheels and tires. Haven't decided on whut ah' wanna do - ah' might audi-five wid slightly lowa' sidewalls, but ah' also gots' been considerin' leavin' de front wheels stock and gittin' larga' rears...de dragsta' look. Nodin' new on de powa' train at dis point. Maxin' out mah' handlin' between suspension and tire changes be my fust audi-fiveal, den I'll start on de power. Ah be baaad...””

“Marko, true since its rwd but Im not too worried about that. I can use my gps to figure out my real speed and mentally adjust what my speedo reads from then on. According to my gps its already incorrect anyway. Larger wheels will slow down the odo too, but that just means lower mileage when I sell it (not planning on that).

Sarge, wurd to yo mutha. Keepn eye on yo rims o they may end upn my ride!”
