Ah. That makes sense.

Did you just paint over the caliper as-is or are you in the process of priming it so you can paint over that? Next time, you should take off the calipers and do it that way - better results.

Yeah, that's what I will do if I ever do it for real. I just wanted to mess around though, and couldn't find a quick way to take it off. I may leave the white on though as a base coat. It was only a 97 cent rattle can though.

LOL Chris. The 2nd picture cracks me up. Looking like you are seriously striking a pose for a studio picture.

Not only do I hate my job more each day, but I hate the idea that I'm trying to stay there until I buy a house later this year.

Someone want to pay me to hang out with them?

Wish I could help out Chef. A/C lines tend to be a costly repair.

Yeah, my camera in the Mac makes it hard for me to take a good pic !

I can take a good pic of other people, but just not of me.

Chef-J,

I know this is a long shot, but call this company in San Antonio and see if they know anyone in the business here in the DFW area or can recommend anyone here.

This place could do ANYTHING in auto AC. wish they were here in dfw too...

Man the ironic thing is that I posted that before going to bed last night. Then I checked the mail today and got a "Memo" from the company about more BS. I was on the phone with Jason and he told me about some career opportunities. It's time for me to make a move.

Thanks Kristi ! you have good taste in men....I can tell.

Go get some Cold Eze drops & Zicam. It will help alot.


Btw, I am no longer a 4X4

A big Thank you to Eric...he is the Bomb and was fast.

Eric installed my Springs last weekend and it dropped me just enough for me to be happy. The springs are still going to settle a bit more, but I can see a difference already.

I am glad that you like those springs. Just keep it slow over speed bumps. We were able to knock my car out in about 30 minutes.

That was the fastest spring install I've ever done. I'm glad you lent a hand when needed.

Also thanks for pitching in Jeremy. Those coilovers are the ones I wanted a while back and you just made the mod bug bite again. It wasn't too bad messing with the rear shocks. If you ever mess with the front again bring them over so I can get a feel for that.
