Ha just playing with you.
I have 20's as well. But you found 20" winters? I couldn't find them for under $300/tire.

I got the graphics off ebay here:

Spent the better part of the day trying to get the headlights to go down.

Also the S2 is too low for the local shop to align it apparently.

Took the afternoon off and had new rear axle half-shafts put on and coolant + PS flushes. Squashed for time, decided to let my indy do it. Big bill, but big improvement and peace of mind! Axles badly needed, fluids add to new baseline of 'where the car is at' from the last owner. Getting more comfortable every month. I'm glad my wife is comfortable with ballpark figures in my repair reports over dinner...

Going back in a week after a gasket comes in to replace the wastegate downpipe pipe that has come loose at the exhaust and needs rewelding. Helluva rattle underneath, probably losing some boost.

put one of my rear 18" wheel with tire on to check for clearance. Cleared, quickly took it off and put stock wheel on to head to a meeting. Wanted to run home and put the entire set of 18s on...but it started snowing. 944 stays at meeting, wife in suv comes to get me.

Looked at a nice coolant puddle under the corner of my radiator, and thought about continuing my wheel refinishing adventure.

Took a drive down to Firebird International Raceway to watch the 944 spec cars and Joe (M758) race. Took some great shots. Met some new people. Will upload some pics later...
