Re: Expensive flat tire.

I do believe that the calipers came that color. My calipers are red. The yellow ones may be aftermarket. But I've seen them on other cars. I'll just keep the red ones. I like them.

It's 460 HP @ 6000 RPM. My Vette only has about 400 or something like that and it's plenty fast for me. I've only got on it hard a couple times. Once when I was stuck at a red light and a homeless guy was wiping windshields with a paper bag and a bottle of what looked like pee in it. He started heading my way and the light turned green. I floored it. I didn't want him near my car.
The other time was to beat a train. The crossing arms started coming down so I punched it. I worked next to a railroad yard and you could get stuck by one of those trains for 45 minutes if they stopped on the tracks. And they did it all the time. Anyone who knows Norwalk Blvd. in Santa Fe Springs knows exactly which crossing I'm talking about.
