The sole goal of Team Alavanche is to have fun this year. Well, have fun and eat tacos with a hundred of my favorite people plus a couple we just tolerate like that creepy uncle nobody can stop inviting over for thanksgiving.

tacos engage. There's 50+lbs of tacos fixings in my fridge right now.
In reply to Jordan Rimpela :
1 car, 10 wheels(6 in budget)
In reply to Patrick :
You’re going to need some really long wheel studs for those.
In reply to Patrick :
But will any of them look good on my Mercedes?
In reply to Jordan Rimpela :
The 17x8.5 amg 5 spokes will possibly be available after the challenge. The monoblocks are not available ever
In reply to Indy-Guy :

Eating breakfast before we load up.
Pro tip:
If you're in South Carolina and you try to take a detour and you find a dirt road, don't trust it in a lowered car. I should have turned around when I saw the speed limit sign that said "20 MAXIMUM SAFE speed...almost shook the car apart

Good news is it cleaned under the hood great for concours. Bad news is that replacing it is out. I'm not sure why it decided to divorce itself from the car.
We're in n Florida now. Welcome center. See you all in about an hour.
In reply to Stampie :
Can't you just find any old Infiniti radiator at a junkyard in the way and swap it in the hotel parking lot? Worked for me with my G35. Just need sheet metal screws or rivets.

What happens when your chicken for the taco bar leaks in your cooler?
You rinse it in the hot tub in your suite.
