LOL. Too funny. Belle Tire would fix my windshield by smashing a bowling ball through it and making me pay for a new one.

Henderson and Safelite have been recommended - I'm going to take it to Henderson since they are only a few minutes away.

Brakes failing!? Is that a premonition? My brakes never failed! lol

Everything else.. yeah.. engine, wheels, windshield, endlinks..

She's not cursed. Just some bad luck. Aside from the engine, outside forces had to do with all of the other issues. We'll be in the clear soon enough.

I always wondered if a group of imports at the Dream Cruise with get spat on or egged by the (former) Big 3 muscle car folks.

Steve,
I was up there all last year in my Blue Z
I had no problems and got a few compliments from some of the older crowd actually.

Dude I thought your brake pedal went to the floor at one of the track events..That would scare me into Brembo's or something...

Its not just 1st
It is getting worse, I messed up the synchros on the upper transmission arm.
1,3,5 all whine now. The synchro has to be stripped of a gear or two,,

Auto cross, I can't have a bunch of parties this weekend to attend.
Besides I don't want to autocross a 4,000 lbs car.
Body roll anyone??

Rob, you'll have to drive the G the next time we meet up bro!
Its a fun car..

Do you guys have any suggestions for a detailer in the Novi area? I've got a few rock dings I would like to try to get fixed.

Also, Hi. I just discovered the local forums here.

yo. I don't even know how to detail lol. There's so many chips, bug guts, and cone marks in my front bumper, it's so blah.

Anyways, Aj (Datona Jess) might know somebody since he's in the Novi area.

Welcome.

Steve, you pumped for Thurs?!

Yes! It seems that no matter how many track days I go to, I always get excited and anxious. Really looking forward to it. I have to pack up my OEM wheels this time too - just in case my big 'ol 275s rub. My g/f will be following in a 2nd car. See ya there. I plan on arriving around 7:30.

DAMN if those were 18's they'd be mine...

I don't know of any detailers actually
I used to detail cars, so I just do it myself.

Mike K (Shifty) his cousin Bob does it, but I don't know if he does it on the side anymore...

P.S. starting tonight if anyone wants I will be on woodward give me a jingle...
