Default Took a trip to Hilton head over the 4th....

Just after I had the tie rod ends, and the control arms changed, alignment. ($2600.00 including the rental car thanks to a warranty) and an oil change and new brake fluid, pads and rotors (thanks to me)

The car rode like a dream. I was just beginning to think "well the front end isn't so high maybe I don't need to lower it" but after they did the work its back to its full 4x4 glory in the front

Side bar... got 505 miles out of a tank of gas on the way back. filled up with 21.26 gallons. I think if you were cruising at 65 mph you could get 600 miles out of a tank, but my right foot doesn't work like that. Maybe I should try the left one.

Default There are too many left-lane bandits, to get good mileage.

And 3rd gear is just so much fun, motoring around those basturds on the right. Especially when they *try* to speed up and keep you from passing, after they've passed up a couple opportunities to move right.

Default Are you watching me??? I enjoy their expression way too much as they realize that ...

... there is no way they are going to keep up and you're going to get around them.

Default Left lane bandits? Check the website I started awhile back.....

it is very basic right now. No links or anything work, but it gets the point across. Spread the word....<ul><li><a href="http://www.getthefover.com">GetTheFOver</a></li></ul>
