Nope whole thing.

We always test drive them to burn it off since the paint makes a grinding noise before it wears off.

I bet that 2.8 put a little spring in her step. Break it. Video the earth-shattering ka-boom!

Russo, that looks like a job for a rotary. Buncha dronks. heres a old man tip... once I told my annoying drunk buddy that "Drunks are ONLY fun if you're drunk!" and he mellowed out after that. They think they are the life of the party but can't handle their liquor. Some ladies handle their liquors by the ears, lol.

GTP alignment is set up for near future but that and tires is gonna clean me out. Ordered 4 stock size, V-rated Altimax HPs though, so that makes me happy that they are still abundant and not discontinued. Did not know they offered 2 speed ratings but did know they are made in USA and Brazil. I've used up a half dozen (well, mostly hurt in wrecks) of them but all with the 98H rating which is said to be a 55K tire whereas the V-rated ones have softer compound and go only 40K. As well as I liked the ones I had before, I am almost certain I will enjoy these even more. That could inspire me to look into STBs and sway bars more, hmm. Hopefully these V speed ones are the ones made in the US, all the others I've gotten have been hecho in Brazil. Prolly get um next week but possibly Friday, guess I should shake all the hubs first just in case. Control arms aren't completely shot but I do have a noisy strut mount (been that way since new).

Hello thinner rag.

Yeah the Harbor Freight DA is sitting in the garage. Might go visit my mom this weekend and get some cheapo HF pads while I'm there and maybe pickup a new floorjack and give it a whirl. I got some megs UC sitting on the shelf begging to be used.

my brother bought a cheapy HF floor jack , which i reminded him you get what you pay for ... like 2 weeks and a couple uses later it was leakin off ...lol

When I did mine I didn't have any making tape but I did have thinner... saves time too! To each their own. Your calipers look sharp.

the 3 ton HF jack my friend got has been lifting stuff over 3 tons for over two years now, no leaks, works fine.

Good luck gettin that all the way out with a DA, is what I was gettin at. I guarantee you can make it look better, but curious how much. Never used a DA polisher for any length of time, myself. Can you catch a fingernail in that scratch?

I'm pretty sure I'm getting that HF DA soon. You know when you get a tool in your head and know it won't go away till its bought? Yup, it has to happen. Was gonna pull the trigger on the Porter Cable but for a tool I will use a few times a year HF can't be beat. One of my best buys was the HF angle grinder. Had no idea how much I needed it till I bought it. 6-7 years and still spinnin' on original brushes.

Drove the Imp to pizza place and home. Jealous of all you daily commuters that drive your personal cars. Went and got new tags for the imp today and realized I've put a little over 10k in almost 2 years on it.

Can't catch a nail on it, its a really fine light scratches so I'm expecting them to come out kinda easily.

the HF buffer kicks ass. even when it sits in the box waiting to be used again lol

hf pads do suck dick tho. get some lake county pads. you wont be sorry.
