And did you just make a fat your mom joke to Karo?
Yes i know your Camry was the bomb you don't have to keep telling me about it let it go you can't hold onto the past
I have no doubt that my c320 will not leave me on the side of the road but honestly why take that one in a million shot if I can get something way newer and why not have a second car I have had two cars for over half my life so i am having withdrawals
And i have no clue when ga will work into my schedule I have to visit the family member in Fayetteville Ga as soon as possible so after i see him i will come looking for you

Trey it is going to cost just $75 to refinish the f'd up rim that will soon be mine. Drew says he thinks they will fit and I'm getting them next week.

Ok well the first real problem with my car has finally happened. I was flying up an on ramp and my steering wheel starts to shake rapidly. I then started to hear clunking when i move the wheel. I decide to take my dad for a ride to get his opinion and within two seconds he goes tie rods the good part is they are cheap and looks like you can do them yourself very easily. now the question is do i replace the inner and outers or just the outeres?

Trey, if you do them, let me know how hard they are to do, mine are fine yet, but you never know when they'll go out.

Well i was going to do them with my father and grandfather in his shop but he broke his hip two days ago so that put a stop to that. I now plan to just get my front springs, shocks, amg sway, tie rod ends, and anything else i think of to replace done at a very good friends shop in the next few weeks. I have had my rentech shocks forever and really just need to get it over with. but i have said this many times we shall see if i actually go though with it this time.

It now has 154,208 miles so close to the magical 155k for my high millage award. The car is having front springs, front shocks, AMG front torsion bar,inner and outer tire rod ends and steering rack bushings replaced. can't wait to finally have both the front and rear renntech shocks on the rear suspension has been done for like two months.

Honestly I won't have a whole lot of time regardless of when you come. If you want to just meet up for lunch or something as you pass through a nearby town and not bother with the rims this trip that would be cool, too.

I will leave it up to you it would make the drive alone a 14 hour drive to stop in the town you live in so i would prefer to pick them up when i only have to drive back to Atlanta area next month.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour....27124&t=h&z=7

well just had an idea. If i don't have to work till 2pm on Monday then i could stop get rims whatever and then stay in blacksburg va that would take 3 or so hours off that days drive so that could work.

We goobers aren't really that close together if you mean me, Trey, and Drew. Atlanta would be a nice middle ground, though.
