Long story short, took a bad turn into my garage and rubbed against the wood frame on the outside of the garage.... Hated myself, but what can you do, at least I'm driving it!

The one off Shawnee Mission has ramps that are built into the lift, not sure if all of them do. But I had mine done there when I raised it and put the winter tires on. They set it to just the levels I wanted!

Daniel....yes....Firestone is upgrading all the stores with "in-ground" racks....love them....I remember they messed up my side skirt trying to put it on a traditional alignment rack even after using 2"x4"....

The one on 79th has an in-ground rack and the one on 135th and Metcalf (closer to most folks on the list) have an in-ground alignment rack as well

about putting the name on the list....I hope you didnt misunderstand me, wasnt sure if you guys were surely down or a maybe and hence didnt add to the head count Glad you guys are frequenting on here

Guys, quick question, I want to change my trunk spoiler, have the M3 style one and don't like it since i saw the OEM one, and want to put the OEM style spoiler on the trunk now. Does anyone know what is the best way to take it off without damaging the paint?

I'm skeered on how it will look. And I really don't feel like wasting 130 bucks just to see if I will like something or not. I guess I could always try to resell it, but I think I may be sitting on it for a while if I don't like it.

In Lawrence they don't know how to tackle people anyway, so I should be fine

Later fellas, off to union meeting and then to work.

Really? Where do you work at? I usually just work through lunch, and try to be home by 6ish... But we can plan something, happy hour for drinks, no can do drinks during work hours!

Haha, and nobody has called me Daniel Son in years!

I live pretty close to Zona Rosa off Barry Rd. So I'm not too far from where you work.
