Hi guys, I'm back from my vacation. I took the family on an Alaskan Cruise. We had a fantastic time. I'll be posting pictures on Sunday.
Sorry I couldn't make Fast Fridays. We literally pulled in to Kansas City-DannyZ texted me and invited me to join you guys. But we had to go get Ginger in Liberty that night. And I don't think my wife would appreciate it if I dropped off our luggage and jumped in the car and ran out to KC Trends......
Anyway, thank you Dan for the text and the invite (as opposed to our Midwest Chapter Leader......LOL!).
I'll catch the next one in 2 weeks.

. We snapped one of the first bolts we tried to remove, was back towards the swaybar since I knew touching the actual endlinks would be a pain but this turned out to be just as bad, so rusty it snapped the head right off the body. Then we had a bitch of a time getting the strut lined back up to reassemble it until Robbie showed up. Apparently I'm not heavy enough weight to push it down lol. But either way big ups to Anil for atleast attempting, I probably will wind up letting Revline deal with all the rust.On a sidenote swoosh - that whole karma thing we talked about? Found a $20 bill on the ground yesterday lol, I think it was to recoup my beer costs in the spirit that all is well.

It was a huge disappointment lol we couldn't do it, but props to Anil for attempting to help. Atleast you got some free beer out of the whole thing .

Anil and I had some issues installing my coils too. Had to cut the endlinks and buy new ones. Then had to buy new strut kit pieces (rubber bumpers, stop washers, etc.) because they were rusted to my stock struts.
Anil is boss though, he's always handy to have around

Brandon, I will be working from home for the next 2 weeks....I am driving back from STL today....
this is what I suggest, go to revline, pay them $30 for the rear camber kit and buy Moog end links and get those installed by them as well....see if they can install new bolt in place of the snapped bolt....
rest we can do in my garage bud....so you will still save whatever they are charging you for coils....
and even though the beer you got is still unopened, as a rule, you need to bring some more
just fucking with you bud....but dont forget the lug key this time
Thanks Dave

Saw the link and there were no pics of the swooshmobile. I r dissapoint. But good pictures nonetheless, looked like a great turnout, wish I could've made it (family in town)
Anil - I just had Revline do everything, it turned out well I'll text you some pics. I need to de-rust that car or something...they had a hard enough time as it was and my camber arms are still seized on the car now, I had to order bunch of new hardware because they are going to have to cut all the old shit out lol. Pain in the ass it sounds like but soon will all be worth it. I think we should get a post-national meet meet/photo-op sometime soon in a nice location for the KS people!

Guys,
I just ran across this on Facebook, any of you going? If we can get enough people, I think we should ride together. What do you guys think?

I was wondering when that would happen, it's usually done earlier in the summer like in May, but nonetheless, its a pretty good meet - turnout has been pretty good last few years I've been. Ill be there of course

from what I hear from other members in KC, this even turns into street racing and wrecks....guess I will be sitting this one out...

There's idiots in every group somewhere bro...the year before last people got stupid and there was a pretty decent wreck. But those are the people who usually are racing to get to the front - I stay in the back and cruise with the other adults who actually know how to drive, but I feel you. Last year was alot more docile than year before last from what I remember.

I think we should - it's always a pretty decent turnout, and i know year before last we had quite a few exotics show up (they dont cruise though.) Either way it'd be a cool AZ meet up, worst case scenario we cruise the opposite direction that the main group goes

Construction = 
I know I think next year or year after next, Lenexa plans major renovations at the I35/95th street exit and will have the whole thing shut down for like 6 months. Worst. Thing. Ever.
Anil, convince me not to buy these for winter wheels: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pts/3940591546.html

I am going to use that money instead to buy a replacement 6 disc changer - my mechanism has failed (I think) and it makes a god awful noise like a CD is jammed in it 24/7. Drives my OCD nuts lol...
I hope I can make it out to the next gathering, I missed last FF sadly...twin peaks girls were there. Wanted to go lmao.

Get together on Saturday at my place.
Is FF this Friday???
Also, I'm having a general get together at my place Saturday evening/night. I've invited those of you who I have on FB but here's the invite for the rest of you.
We are grilling out and playing yard games and some card games (Cards Against Humanity!) later on. Fun starts at 5pm and grilling starts up about 7pm. It's BYOB and either bring something to grill or a side dish. If you want to come then pm/email/call me so I can get you added on FB so you can see all the details. If you want to arrive sooner then 5 then that is fine too.
