V owner check in...
still alive.
Things to address after a rough month of moving etc...
clean the FK out the car inside and out...
need a ding on the a pillar and front bumper scratches addressed...
Want to get another alignment and add a degree of negative camber to the rear so the rear sits evenly with front...
Contacted previous owner of wheels and got the powder code for the wheels and will address having that one wheel refinished after me curbing the OTHER half of the wheel that wasn't curbed before.
That is all...
too embarrassed to post a pic.

curbed wheel is the least of it, my friend...fence into my front bumper scratched it up...and curtain rods fell against the a pillar and dinged up real good, like...
this is the truth... every time i drive to my parents neighborhood, i always have old men asking me about the car... happened in McD, Dunkin Donuts... but it's only in my parents neighborhood... no where else...
Never underestimate old people.
i don't think they know.. they just think its cool seeing a Caddy wagon... then i fire up the engine and they are confused...
the one guy at McD couldn't believe i put my family in it and asked how many tickets i have... that thing is a racecar... his buddy has a coupe version...

Got my quote and scheduled my appointment to drop off the wagon to get the body work done.

Going to have it re-aligned and a little added camber put into the rear so it matches the front and drops down a smidge. When the wagon is loaded up with stuff, the stance is perfect so I'm looking to duplicate that with another degree of camber.
Then, lastly...rear wheel will get new powder...already sourced the powder based on the previous owner being nice enough to call his powder guy to get me the code.
Then, I'll be back in business!

maybe...
I'm actually contemplating selling them as is and getting the oem wheel welded up and throw a pair of PSS on the back again...
but...I like how the niche look.

It's all the trees around our office that's keeping my truck with a permanent yellow tint.
