Northern Virginia Roll Call

That is what im buying again, im just going up a size or 2

 

It’s yours.

 

I'm going to need to order new summer tires for the WRX this winter. I'm trying to decide what to get. The Michelin Pilot Sports are highly rated, but $1000 +/- for 4 tires. I've have had good luck with Kuhmo and Falken all seasons on other cars I've owned. A set of Kuhmo/Falken performance tires is around $600.

 

I wanted to order blizzacks for my camry, but they dont make them in factory size. I also dont want to pay for new tires on the 2nd vehicle (because they have 4k miles on them) . Im just looking at 315s gonna bite the bullet probably on monday

 

Sweet! I’ll figure out how to meet you next week in rednecksburg.

 

Did the exact same thing myself for a while when I wasn't in class. I started with using an app called Bungii, kinda Uber for peoples crap. If you ever want business on the side, it's about $15-30 an hour pretty consistently (that's factoring in gas expenses and if you stay out of DC.) I stopped doing it a while ago because I hate the work and found a better side job that didn't involve using my truck. Another Nova TW member was doing it for a while as well. Think his name was Victor.

Either way, the whole moving business is a great way to make extra cash around here. I've noticed the landscaping market and a bunch of others are completely oversaturated, while there's a decent demand for reliable moving help.

 

I'm running stock size Michelin x-ice as the winter tires on my factory WRX wheels.

My summer tires will be 265/35r18, most likely. That's the typical size on the size of my summer wheels. I might go with 275/35r18 as it's the closest to stock size.

 

Friday and Saturday are the best days for me. I work Sunday-Thursday nights

 

Not sure if it is still on, but I just went through tirebuyer.com and got a 10% off my cart, AND 7% off of my tires because Nitto was having a sale. Got 4 285/70x17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers for $780.

 

nice find. Ill take a look. Thanks

 

On my second set and same here I love them.

 

I have used tirebuyer.com for the last two sets for my truck and last two sets for the old 'rolla. They are super quick with their shipping and their prices are great.

 

We’ll shoot for Friday then.

 

High clearance or standard?

 

Sounds good. I get off work around 0730. Let me know a time and place.

 

Totally man. Ive hired my friends to do other moving jobs that don't need my truck, and I also hire them to help with jobs that I need a helper with.

I have ended up making about $70-80/hour. I don't give people an hourly rate, instead I give them a price of what I would do the job for. People also are willing to support college students, so I named the business "students and trucks" to really hammer it in that we are students.

 

What size you looking at? I might Go up as well.

 

Randy you need to have little taco icons on your truck for all the rescues you have made!

 

315 75 16, I'm geared for it now, so might as well

 

That’s a fantastic idea!
