I'll tell you one thing. If I burn them up, I'm gettin' video!!!

We'll be waiting

Madness, I believe the standard way to measure tread depth on tires is to use a tire tread depth gauge, which, when placed on top of the tread of the tire, will measure the depth of the tread left in 32nds. i.e., 7/32's, or 4/32's and the legal limit for use on the road is 2/32's-unless this has changed in the past 2 or 3 years since i last used to do this line of work-Auto Appraiser for Insurance companies or body shops, until I went full time in the Army in 2003 from the Reserve.
Hey, I'm also going to the Ultimate Corvette Party-will you be going over on Friday nite and staying at the hotel? Me and a few club members from my club will be doing just that. Let me know.

No, I won't be going over early. I'll be at work Friday night and Saturday night. So I won't be able to stay all day either. I have to get some sleep sometime.

Dontcha hate it when that happens? I picked up a friggin' fender bolt in the RF tire 3 weeks after taking delivery of the Ghost Machine. Looked to be a 10mm head, with washer attached... sheesh... probably fell off of a Ford!
