Afternoon ladies!

It's been a rainy week here so far, but at least it's cleared up for a bit today. I'm glad too, because we had 5 forklifts in the shop we've been waiting to deliver since last week that can finally get out of here. Sadly we have another 8 coming in sometime this week to fill the shop right back up :squint:

any of you guys have experience with tpms? i need to drop off a wheel off my mother's lancer because it's always slowly leaking. my old man said e foundte leak last night and that it was coming from the stem. said he tried to tighten it and somehow it got worse. they called sears, where they got this set of tires installed, and were told that the wheel needed a new tpms for $60. now i'm no expert on tpms, or even a layman (i prefer to monitor my tire pressure myself not with a light in my cluster), but i don't see how the sensor could be leaking and not the stem itself that they changed with the new tire.

TPMS do leak unfortunately. They wear out over time and break the seal to the stem, because they're actually a part of the stem. That's actually a really good price to replace them too. Most places charge over $100 for them.

thanks for the info. from what i read, it does seem like a good price, but i kept getting conflicting info as to wether the sensor itself could leak, or if it was just the stem. just trying to make sure the parents weren't getting hosed out of some cash. i guess i'll just drop that wheel off now so i can cut my grass before the rain this week.

also, 12' tall fires are fun, and wicked hot. good thing the new fire pit is blocked by the house, firefighters showing up to destroy your fire ring (and the surrounding grass) and threaten you with fines for not having a burn permit is lame.

What up fellas?

A friend can't make it up to the show this weekend. How much do you think someone in that long a** line is willing to pay for his ticket to not have to wait in line?

What's up gents?

Well I purchased a new domain name last night, since I found out that every Kia Sorento site sucks a** out there for the most part. I now own SorentoSource.com and have already started building it.

Yeah, we'll see how it goes. I've already got my own personal website I maintain, so hopefully this one will at least be good for some advertising revenue.

Well doesn't any good website?

Sadly, as we've seen here, that doesn't tend to get us in the good graces of Google :tisk:

I'm aware, but you can have some hot chicks with a fair amount of clothes on on the page itself. Sex sells bud.

All in due time. Gotta get some content on the site first and setup all the SEO crap. I went with Wordpress like we use here this time, so hopefully it treats me better than what I used on my personal site.

You could include some feet. Mila Kunis has some pretty nice feet (no cankles, silly looking toes, etc). I'm not foot fetish guy, but cankles are a HUGE turn off.

I pay absolutely no attention to feet, but cankles would probably not work for me either. I pay attention to boobs, eyes, and hair first, then butt and smile if those are all good.

Also, the wife has been bugging me about wanting some of those little family stick figure stickers for the car(that you see on every hipsters Prius), so I ordered these last night :gapteeth:

While I detest the stupid "Look at my family" stickers (they're rampant in Hampton Roads, like on EVERYTHING), I approve of the use of The Stig.

Oh I despise their existence, but the wife kept bringing them up for like the past month. So I found these and ordered them. She's going to love finding them on the back window of the Sorento next week :chuckle:
