Time for me to shower and chill out with a beer.
Brandon is begging to get on the PC. I really need another computer in this house.

My truck rides like new again thanks to new upper and lower ball joints and struts with new springs and new rear sensitrac shocks. I replaced the wheel bearings last year. Also got a brake flush done as well, all done yesterday.

'06 headlight out=$1300 dealer quote
Anybody see Paul Brand's "Motoring" in the auto section of the Strib Saturday? Sounds like a local dealer quoted $1300-wonder what dealer and what else to the story. Dan

Said article:

Q: Need some advice for my daughter and her husband. They bought a 2006 Nissan 350Z — smart folks, ’cause they won’t let me drive it. No problems with it, but a headlight quit working. The Nissan dealer wants $1,300 to replace it. Any comment or suggestions? This seems sort of excessive.
A: I’d suggest that you offer a much less expensive fix in exchange for driving privileges! According to my ALLDATA automotive database, this Nissan is fitted with xenon HID headlamps. Nissan service bulletin NTB10-061A dated June 2010 suggests that a failed headlamp bulb, about $180, or HID control unit, $400-$500, is the most likely cause of an inoperative headlight. Even with an hour or so of labor, that’s a far cry from $1,300 to replace the entire headlight assembly. There’s a very good chance you can solve the problem, save them money and, most important, end up with driving privileges! Remember, I’m an instructor for the Skip Barber Racing School — you’d have lots of fun learning how to properly drive that performance car!

I was supposed to be at Ripley last week. I think we'll be there next month.
Damn, that dealership should be labeled stealership.

There's a black G35 that's got at least 1 turbo that I know of. MAP bought it from a private owner a while back.
