Paul- check your outter tie rod ends. I just ordered both L & R outters for my car last Thursday. I thought it was the upper strut mounts, but it wasnt. I paid like $30.xx for each side through Mitsu and are due in today. I was experiencing the same type of noise.

Anyone here ever have a Nokia CDMA (Verizon, Sprint) phone?

If so, how was the battery life and connectivity? TIA.

kristen has a cheap one. I really dig it. After 2 years the battery is finally useless but she gets better reception than my phone does.

I have always had good luck with nokia phones. In fact i was just reading how america is the only country that doesn't have a large nokia adoption. I guess they are the #1 cell manufacturer in the world.

cool Tim, no biggie, just thought I'd remind you. I was going to try to push to have all the brake stuff and tires installed before the rally, but it's not going to happen, so I changed over to my summer rims and tires from last year this past weekend, god it's good to have grip again!

Good to hear.

Kate is scoping out the new Nokia Intrigue. It just dropped yesterday at Verizon and it looks quite promising...I am thinking of picking one up for myself as well.

Again, sorry for the delay. I have been very discouraged lately with them. If it wasn't such a nice product, I would be sourcing you another set from another manufacturer. I will drive them to your house the day the come in


+1 for GRIP! I put my summers on Friday and forgot how much fun driving the Evo was on pavement
