    That's what I have on it right now haha I'm planning on getting radials for the back when i get my new wheels for the front, its bad on the freeway. I just drove my car down to Kalama, WA where i am now and every once in a while its really difficult to control. I suppose I've just gotten too used to it to consider it scary :huh: lol

    When I had my South Side Machine Lift Bars on (+ the rear sway bar)...I had brutal oversteer. Let's just say I wouldn't be driving a Comet right now if there would have been a car in the other lane on a tight freeway curve. The car completely shifted to the other lane and I had zero control for a few seconds.
    It coulda ended my hobby (and a lot more) right then and there.

    The next MCCI Mini Meet is "Fall Ford Fest" in Graham, Wa. It's Monday, Sept 5th (Labor Day) at the Graham Fairgrounds. This is the same show we went to last year. Cliff from Vancouver, BC enjoyed the show. Look forward to seeing you again this year Cliff. Everyone is welcome to come. Car doesn't need to be a show car. Just bring it & we'll list it as "in progress"...Hope to see lots of Mavericks & Comets.

    I'm not going to make it to that one either, time is just not on my side this year. I need to get into the shop and get my truck done, lots of bodywork and a tranny swap to come yet. Make sure someone takes pic's down there, I enjoyed seeing the ones from the Bellevue one, nice seeing all them gems lined up!(y)

    :rant: Good luck on the gas prices. I noticed this evening that the price jumped up here in Chilliwack to $1.09/litre and it will be interesting to see what Vancouver will be in the morning when i get in to work, usually at least 4 cents higher. Sure enough, I heard on the news that the oil co's are blaming the hurricane disater down south for another price increase. Those crooks will blame anything or find any excuse to rip us off for more and more. Scary thing is they will keep pushing it 'cause we depend on it and will bark at the price but then suck it up and put more in the tank. They have us by the short and curlies. I have to get my truck done, it's on propane:2cents: .

    hey Rob..good to hear from you! Sorry you can't make it...we'll have to get together one day and put a face to the name(so to speak). By the way, the gas prices here in Courtenay are 1.11per litre...scary eh!
