my stepfather is like that in a way. He's got this garage queen 08 MUSTANG!! Strike one. He spends tons of money and time on doing exhaust and external engine parts. Buys an off the shelf tune. When asked if he'd like to run it at the track or any activity he replies, " nah, it's a cruiser." Bull****. He doesn't want he delusions crushed. That car can't pull worth a crap eithe after all he did to it. Shame.

I just hate the idea of towing it to JNZ to have them diagnose the problem only to tow it to my house and wrench on it. I'll have to wait and see.

Jim I just found this. Very good run man.

I was supposed to be at ATCO tonight, but instead my buddy will be since I have to run to the airport. Look for a Red SRT-4 with a lip wing and carbon fiber hood and slicks on the front

That sounds like me now.

Did someone here have their Evo at Salvo Brothers Chassis Fabrication in Coatesville today? I dropped off a DP that I needed welded up today and he said he someone was just there with a silver one getting some work done. I live a few blocks away from there on Charles. I need to start considering a cage now and I'm curious how their work is.

i'm taking my X to the dealership tomorrow to get my squeaking and ticking front right suspension looked at. I am praying it is a quick and simple job and i am out of there with it sorted. i am sure they'll torque my wheel back on at 500 ft lbs for each lug.....i actually plan to tell them that they will lose my business forever if they do that.

maybe they'll void my warranty claim for using "non-oem gas."
