well, i worked from 9-3, came home, and found my lug nuts in my mail box! sweet...i ordered them on thursday, so now i can do my wheels any time this week. $34 shipped
then around 4, Fedex came! my springs! sweet...i ordered those tuesday $262 shipped.
i then went to advanced auto to rent spring compressors (dan t_t drove by), and headed over to ruby tuesday's in cromwell to see if my friend was working. (he wasn't so i decided to head back home, merged on to rt 9 :drive: and saw a female driving an 02-03 red wrx. tried to catch up so i could wave/check her out. luckily (?) there was someone in the passing lane doing 65...and someone in the left lane directly next to that person doing....65. so noone was going anywhere. i finally get behind her and the person in front of her finally inches forward so we can squeeze through. and that we did. downshift to 4th (we were doing about 70 by the time we got through) and floor it. i could smell her running rich, which meant she was flooring it too. it was so bizarre trying to catch up to her. its like that level in zelda: ocrina of time where you fight your mirror, whatever you do, your mirror does the same thing. kind of frusturating, but i was slowly gaining on her...until i remembered i still had my snow tires on, with a speed rating of Q (99 mph). as we were going around this bend:

i look down and see i'm doing 120 mph. oh fux0rs. i brake a tad and get back down to 90. going around that at 120 was probably the dumbest/scariest thing i've done.
so i let her go...for now :(
maybe one day...:toast:
