• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

Link me. Please lol. If they're the same for 97-03

Today work was interesting. A customer brings their 06 dodge grand caravan in with 210k miles because it's making a lot of clunking. They drop it off and walk next door to the pizza place to eat. I get in it, put it in reverse, and there's this HUGE clunk and the left side of the van just drops...
The strut cartridge disconnected from the strut mount and the spring is like bent outward against the fender, and the wheel is sticking way out, ripping the cv axle out. Ah the pos's we work on, man. It got 2 new struts, new left cv, and right outer tie rod. The other strut was darn near falling apart too, I was scared that it would let go and go flying across the shop.

Scotty the one guy at work pulled in the one day and his tire was going down. We aired it up and heard it leaking. Starting feeling around and felt something sticking out of the tire so we yanked it off.

Get to looking and we were like wtf is that? Grab some channel locks and pull out a large piece of gravel. Yes a rock pierced his tire left a large hole in it.
 


Man- that muff delete is pretty loud, sounds good to me though. I must experiment.

Tire holes- last week I had to plug two 19" tires for a friend and it took all my strength, every bit of it. Those things were tough. On a Highlander.

I don't think anybodys up to sabotage, rockstar. Tires are nail magnets. Don't park in grass near houses, they are roof nails usually. Roofers "vacuum" the yard with a magnet if they are professionals but they can't get them all.

Drove my large car to work today, didn't even do a burnout. Honestly I was gonna fog up this old road but a car came down it at the wrong time so I wussed out. Love my GTP but when I run the 455 up to five grand and bang second its a whole different sensation of torque.
 
Those do look good and bright. I destroyed a 97-03 tail light the other day just to see how its made and if I can mod some because they are so expensive. I think theres potential for customizing stock lamps, because once you get the lens and screen off theres a normal looking lens.

Thanks! I'm happy with them from what I can tell. They appeared to project out a pretty far distance. The outside lights on the house were interfering a bit but they are tons brighter than stock thats for sure.
 
Woops, forgot I snapped this before I left work ... meant to post it above. Slight difference in wheel size here, lol I'm Mr Retro with the 15s
