Yesterday afternoon Scott and I made a short unplanned run up 221 to Blowing Rock, stopping at the world famous Big Ass Rock to marvel at this Unesco World Heritage Site. Amaaaazing. Also did Schulls Mill/Clarks Crick/194.

Just discovered a new chip in windshield after getting one repaired yesterday. Will have to stop following too close.

New wheels! Pic is from Discount Tire; they have an online utility that shows you your car with whatever wheels you're pondering.

Windshields are becoming a maintenance thing.

Same diameter, though the offset and width are a little different than stock. Stock = 18x7.5 53offset, New = 18x8.5 40offset.

More rubber to the road! Better cornering. lap times. And all that stuff...
