As long as I have enough time to ask off of work for it.

Wait, what day would it be? The same as the Charlotte meet?

Yeah I'm sure he will be able to come.

And Jason is parting out his car. He ordered some crazy offset Leon Orditts and decided to part out the car once he had them. The car needed fender work for the wheels to fit and he kept needing more parts to have everything done. I guess he got fed up and said the hell with it. I have no idea what he's doing with the TL, whether he's keeping it or selling it, once it's parted out.

Damn that sucks. He did go crazy though with those wheel offsets.

Thanks. Hopefully things start to smooth out and she decides she actually wants to move to NC.
yes, more installs is certainly better for u, lol.

i'm sure things will calm down a bit and she'll eventually come around to the idea of moving here. it's certainly not like it's a bad place to live...i love it here, and i've been all over the US. it'll all work out bud...don't stress about it .

Easier said than done though. When I had my Co-op down here and a job down here was a possibility she was 50/50 on the idea but said if I got a job down here she would most likely move. Had the conversation again about a month ago and that was when she has no interest in leaving her friends and family in PA and moving to NC at all.

The other problem is she can't decide on what she wants to major in and she is now starting her 3rd year of school. I keep suggesting nursing since I know how well she deals with people and what not and can calm people down especially kids.

Who know though.

Jason, there is something you can try to make your relationship work out.

Here is what I think you should consider doing...

-Lodge Megan in the passenger seat of your car.
-Drive to a puppy breeders residence.
-Ask Megan which puppy she likes the best.
-Purchase that puppy.
-With both Megan and the newly acquired puppy, drive to Megan's first choice of destination. (it's probably a beach of some sort)..(because she has mentioned this on multiple occasions)..
-Enjoy 3 or 4 nice days at this destination with both Megan and the newly acquired puppy.
-Ask Megan what she would like to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
-Do other activities/things for Megan during this trip.
-Return home with Megan and puppy.
-Wait for Megan to ask 'Hey Jason, can i move down to North Carolina?'
-Say yes.

The end.

so anyways...GOT COILOVERS INSTALLED YESTERDAY ....all thanks to Mr. Colts.

event synopsis:
step 1. get to jason's at 5pm to install front coils so we're not up till some odd hour of the night doing the whole damn car.
step 2. immediately say F it and decide to do the whole car
step 3. begin to remove old damper assemblies and find out lower bolt on fork is seized into bushing
step 4. spend well over an hour dousing that bitch in wd40 & pb blaster and kill it with a mini-sledge hammer (never wear mechanics gloves while doing this)
step 5. miss the bolt with one swing of hammer and slam ur thumb into the brake dust shield and lob off a chunk of skin
step 6. ensure the cut on thumb is fully covered in a mixture of brake dust, wd40, and blaster (this is a key step).
step 7. finally loosen bolt and proceed with finishing the front coil installs
step 8. move to rear coil install
step 9. remove rear seats, damper assemblies, and install rear coils
step 10. spend 30-45mins looking for bolts for rear seats that you think you have misplaced.
step 11. find bolts and install rear seats.
step 12. put wheels back on, jack up car to remove jack stands, and lower car to ground.
step 13. realize that that you should've stuck to the recommended height setting on your coils for initial install because ur car is now straight dumped pretty much non-driveable. this should occur around 12:45am
step 14. jack car back up and remove wheels and set to a driveable height.
step 15. ensure it is past 1am and u have to get up in a few hours to go to work.
step 16. coilover install complete
step 17. WIN all the way home and drive like a grandma because car is still kinda slammed
step 18. (optional) get fiancee taco bell at 1:20 am
step 19. get home around 1:30 and realize she's already in bed sleeping
step 20. after being home for 5mins go back out to garage and admire newly lowered ride.

event = total WIN

THANKS JASON...had a blast bud!

(sorry, hope its not too long...just sitting in meeting and had some time to kill)
