  1. Insurance in TX is a little weird, in NY I had glass coverage with a 125 dollar deductable. Insurance cariers are not able to cover induvidual glass coverage so it would be the $500 deductable for this, and my insurance says it would cost less then that problie to replace it. I was just looking for somewhere that was relibale.
  2. OK here are my 2 cents worth from some experance racing, not subs yet, and it has been on many diffrent surfaces. High speeds, cold surface= highest psi High speeds, hot surface= lower psi Highway speeds, any temp= lower still psi Lower racing speeds = lower still psi (at the cost of tire life though) Off road, crauling ect. ect.= Very low psi Here is what happens with the changes, with higher PSI your tire contact patch at first is smaller, less tire is on the ground, as you start moving though that patch causes friction, and that increases presure in your tires. Now you also have to take into account the ambent presure that you are operating in. Then also you have the fact that as you add presure your sidwals get stiffer, that increses your corning to a point, unless your sidewall is built for lower presures. So to sum it all up, the max psi on the tire is NOT what your tires should be at, you will have new tires on the sides and nothing in the middle, the best presure is from a lot of diffrent factors of how you use your car.
  3. I have a HUGE crack in my windshield, we are talking over a foot long, to far I think for a repair. Anyone know of any good places that will not cost me TOO much to get a windshield replaced in the Fort Hood area?
  4. That game sucked big time, then again I was on an army computer in Iraq so lol it was more then a little slow
