I am back......

just spent four days in Louisville at a trade show. jesus the net has been busy! i will have to catch up later. yesterday i got my svx aligned again and this time it was done right. only problem is that once they got it in proper alignment, it still pulled to the right.....tires! my damn tires are making the car pull. i have directional tires so next time i have the car in the shop i will have the front and rear rotated. $210.00 to get the car aligned properly only to find out that the tires are a part of the problem.

also i was on the highway yesterday and doing about 90mph, applied the brakes and felt some serious vibration coming through the steering wheel. warped rotors?? i am assuming that is the problem considering it only does it at high speed and only upon deceleration. anyway it looks like the rotors from motorsport warehouse are no better than stock. well they do look better but that is about it. i guess i will be buying ART rotors next time. but for now i will deal with the annoyance of the vibration.

anyway nice to be back and i hope all is well for everyone.

Well, dood, you just saved me a phone call. I was going to call you tonight to see if you were alright. Now, I won't have to. Besides, the both the kids are away and it's just me and the little lady -- I may find something else to do with my time.

Did I tell you that I'm only a couple of hours from Louisville?
