Just dropped mah wheel off. It's bent too. adds $100 to the repair. I'm shocked I didn't feel a shimmy. He said its cause the tires are new. They would have ended up wearing funny.
It will be done by 5 today doe!!

I had the opportunity, on my way to Alabama for appointments today, to run about 45-50 miles on the Natchez Trace Parkway. It is considered a National Park and the 444 mile Highway is maintained by the Dept. of Interior. It runs from Natchez Mississippi up through Alabama and Tennessee and ends in Nashville. It started thousands of years ago as a major Native American trade route and later was used by explorers, settlers, armies, and early presidents traveling to the south on campaign tours before the railroads were built. 75 years ago it was paved and is preserved beautifully. There are hiking trails all along the route that lead to the original Natchez Trail since it deviates some from the modern route. I'm thinking of taking the family back for a weekend trip along the entire route. There is a ton of history represented all along the way. I wish I would have had a real camera, but I took a few iPhone pics. My leg today was between Tupelo, MS and Cherokee, AL. Its a windy road through the hills and woods and is loaded with wildlife. The 50 mph speed limit is exhausting, but it allows you to slow down and enjoy the scenery.

Finally got around to giving the wife some moar low.
Took this of my car today also.
Other than that I've only done alignment related mods to my car lately. I added adjustable ball joints to the front and modified my rear crossmember to allow for camber adjustment.

Looking at your join date...I should be welcoming you, asshole.
2FRESHTL is, yes.
I may not do what you suggested, but I'll figure something out.
Thanks I got some off eBay. They look just like the J-powers.
'Bring it' on the fogs.

Took these while on vacation two weeks ago. Thought I'd share.
Shortly after this I removed the black mud flaps. Just got sick of them dragging constantly. Ill snap some updated pics without them soon.
