1: Car lies way too low now( with side skirts clearence is only 2 inches from ground). It migh rub the body kit in event of flat tire.
2: Now on highway speeds I feel less grip then my old low profile Kumho with 17' rims
gotta find a happy medium. 15s or maybe 16s with a little tire on there so it rides decent, but a good grippy tire.. get me?

I sold my honda oddeysy because of its size and gas mileage. I am looking to buy a car to drive about 150 miles a day and want to beat the crap out of it. Which will be the best option? Ford focus????? Accent????? Buick?????

Since my del sol was stolen all I have for now is my focus, I get awsome gas mileage! And heated seats FTW

if you're just going to beat on it then just get on autotrader and set the price range to under 1000....
