Ive been intending to for awhile but never really got to it. My SS now has 20x11's in the rear and 20x10's in the front as well as 6 caliper Brembos in the front. Still stock suspension though. Handles great however.

My Z28 is lowered by an inch and has 18x11's in the rear and 18x10's in the front. Didn't really get much an opportunity to put it to the test before the wheel came off.

My moms Q60 however with AWD seems to handle amazingly for a stock vehicle. It feels lighter but dont know if it really is or isn't.

I ended up taking a drive down to S.Padre Island for the first time. Ended up taking 130 to TX-72 to I-37 to I-69 and took that all the way to the border. Saw the checkpoint and turned at the last stop light before exiting America. Refueled, got tacos, continued to S.Padre Island. Im still there as we speak. Was a fun drive. Was also my first time seeing Brownsville. Seems to be a underrated little spot. Alot of activity and seemed to be pretty happening little town.

Got back at nearly 5am. Texas is a friggen big state. Its insane how far you can go without ever leaving the state boundaries. Im pretty sure that was almost a 11 hour round trip drive.

I-69 was loaded with DPS units. I haven't seen many state troopers on I-35 or I-20 in my trips to Atlanta, that wasn't the case going to Brownsville though. They were every other exit it seemed like. Alot of folks pulled over too. Had my worried about going 5 over but fortunately they didn't do anything for 80 in a 75 zone.

They are doing a lot of 'passenger checking' in that area of the state....

It kind of gave me Daytona Beach / Myrtle Beach vibes. Felt like I was in a whole different state.

Dang. I didn't think bridges would fall so easily to a cargo ship.

True, but I guess I was surprised by how instantaneous it was.
