This is a place worth seeing, tucked away hidden off a back road, this dude has barns just stacked to the rafters with antique bike parts and overtop of the old school crusty showroom is a museum that blows the one at the Harley factory away, show u if you're ever in the area. https://nickscustomcycles.com/About-Us/Antique-Showroom

Looking forward to warmer weather, so I could give it a good wash and wax.
Interesting as I wanted the A/S 3+ on my Lexus even though I do run snows.

Because of covid, I didn't even put the snows on at all. But this will be a benefit that I'll get to buy a newer gen of tires for it once we get out of covid!

Today I always check the starting tread depth and it's 10/32 on the A/S 4.

My wife had gotten Premier LTX on her SUV and it started at 8.5--there were complaints as early as 20k of these being shot. Got replaced under warranty pro-rata and the new LTX are 10/32 now....

That's quite the story there, Nick sounds like quite the expert! Impressive that's its a personal collection. Man's net worth must be rather high. Its a full collection on

I have a friend I might like to visit some day that lives in NJ so perhaps a couple pitstops are in order 🤔

I just noticed your signature... I like it. I'm not sure the question mark is appropriate though. There is no question that some (too many) people have no common sense at all.

I didn't even realize there was a question mark haha. Just added it yesterday after one of my customers told me about it. He said it was the signature from one of his long time forum buddys on the mustang forums. Thought it was fitting given the relevance of the quote and the origin from which I heard it

The question mark must have been a typo, I was eating lunch when I was typing it. Fixed it

Well given how you came across the quote it makes sense. I mean, people that buy Mustangs are a bit lacking in common sense from the beginning.

Yeah Eleanor was cool, had some power and looked good but it still couldn't get around a corner without a LOT of drama.

Ran it through the carwash(touch-free) and applied some griots garage best in show spray wax.

Temps. are supposed to be around 45 degrees this week. Hopefully, the snow melts.

I'll probably wax/detail the car in April or so.

Thanks! This is how I would've factory order it back in 2009 (might've done the M package instead of sport though).

I sometimes wonder if the PO factory ordered my E90 or was it sitting on the lot?

I wonder if there's a way to find that out.

Buying a carfax would be a good way to tell. There's a guy here on the forums who sells a full one for $5
