Oh Jake, it'll burn off.

Suxorz about the whole ordeal though. Hope you get that thing fixed easily. I'm curious to know exactly what the problem is.

Jake, you need that Propane heater that Jason has....go to HF or Home Depot to get one.

----

I just have to say that this little car is a beast on crappy weather & roads !

This car drove thru some terrible crap and passed so many trucks, SUV's, and other POS's that were heavy rear wheel drives getting stuck on the slightest inclines. I love this beater !

I saw a few Ford Mustangs & Newer Camaro's that were driving like 5mph because they were afraid of losing the back end...I just cruised pass them with a huge smile and a wave at them ! I could tell they were like
" @%#$%! " I just LMAO ! And I saw a few Denali's & Dodge Ram's that couldn't get up a small incline around my work on Beltline. I just honked as I went by.

I love seeing people drive like 2 mph when the roads have like a worn smooth path of concrete on them....I just cruise right past them and look like WTF really ??? your on concrete...not Ice !

Now I know it sounds like I have just been a speed racer past these folks...but believe me...I am really not over exagerating these scenerio's....and I am not a rude or aggressive driver on the roads....but I just can't understand the absolute retardedness of some drivers in the DFW area.

Sorry for the Novel....I guess I picked the wrong week to stop Amphetamines ! Lol

Jake, I'm off work until Friday next week. I'll come help you out if I'm not out home searching. Gotta find some time to install my front and rear camber kits, but I'll help you if it all works out.
