Since no one else is saying it......

Mad props go out to TomsSVX for spending the entire weekend wrenching. I dont know to many people who would volunteer to change out a ball joint and midnight in a down pure. (ven if my car had to sit out in the rain so they could work under a roof.)

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Wish I lived closer to Reading so I could have watched Tom work his magic.

Hey Hey Hey, I helped Ben Briefly with the racer with the springs. The rest of the day I was wrenching on my own car..... can you believe it??? My OWN car My vacation at reading was well spent I would also say that OLD Tom had an equal part in getting wet at midnite all liquired up swapping a ball joint. That was a great idea Tom, can't wait until you ask me to change a trans out after a long night of heavy drinking and heavy downpour... thats the next step right??

Thanks guys but as many of you know, this is what I love to do.

Tom

not to shut you down but I think I made a record with my last auto swap. Wasn't all in one sitting but I had it done in 5hrs. 3hrs at night and 2 hrs the next morning. The morining after I only had to install a driveshaft and exhaust. Now if I could just figure out the AWD binding I would be set

The ashtray is out of balance. Clean out the ashtray - it'll clear right up.

If that doesn't work, check the treble setting on your radio.
