Why?

It's all about managing weight transfer.

Get an alignment. It helps. 8.5" wide front rims reduce inherant understeer as well.

My C2S functions gloriously. If only the driver were as capable.

It would be more like Mr. Concrete-Jungle here.

Yep, for as far as the eye can see it's nothing but one huge metropolis here, where cities have no perceptible boundaries, each one bounded by other cities and each one blending into the next and into those of another county without missing a beat. That's what blew me away when I first moved out here. In Ohio it was clear and obvious when you left a city - there was farmland or wooded empty land for miles before coming to the next town or city.

Over here, to come across land like in your neck of the woods one would have to drive as far away as.....B'ham.

Nice road! The road that I have the pic on is very similar, except it has stripes and two lanes. The problem is the lanes usually have bikes or cars who take turns too wide and it doesn't look like it in the photograph, but there are 20'+ drop offs in some places along the road.

I'll have to go get some good pics for you sometime - especially of the great telephone pole placement!

Default iPod intergration

Anybody have experience adding an iPod to their 997 and/or 996 with factory radio/Cd head units? Am close to the purchase of an 05 997 and am in search of additional info and advice.

Thanks

Oh, you mean in Melibu???

But that's nothing compared to your Blair Witch country.
I bet you don't even dare walk the neighborhood at night under a new moon.
I'm sure you keep your daughter in check by your well crafted boogey man stories.

Was gonna say his new neighborhood is now lined with bars. Don't know if he was able to post the million dollar or so bail. His trial is coming up soon.
