It's usually pretty quick depending on how much work he has if you set up a drop off time or date you can usually just wait there for it to get done mike , he just had a seizure last monday morning so he wasnt in all last week so all of the parts have just been sitting, he will be in the shop this coming monday. You can reach him through his website or if you want to put together a day to go over I will run with you so you can talk to him and check out his colors. Just to be clear, his work is exceptional and no one can beat his prices, nobody.

 

his work is hella sweet. yes, i said hella.

i'm gonna have him powder coat my car.

 

Lol I want him to do that.

 

Instead of getting a tattoo.. I'm going to get my forearm powder coated... So, lately, I've been getting 22mpg from my tC, that's pretty good right? Oh yea, and Jim, what did you guys spend in gas on the way up to CT?

 

All city right? I'd say that's ok. I'm getting pretty crappy mileage in the xD right now. But it's all stop and go around here, and my air pressures weren't even all around until after I filled up the last time. Some the LR and RF were at 27psi and LF and RR were at around 32psi. Guess I should check them more often..hah

 

I drive in the city a lot and to-and-from work which is moderate stop and go. The only highway driving I do really is to meets and such in Montgomeryville where I take 309. I don't consider I-76 a highway... it's mostly bumper to bumper stop and go anyway

 

How's the new clutch and all? Everything working out good? Sloane treat you well?

 

Sloane treated me amazingly well.. never judge a dealership solely on the ineptitude of their sales staff. The service department and the manager I dealt with, Mark, was cordial, polite and informative... and worked with me. I was a little bitter having to drop so much dough, but hey, it had to be done and would have cost as much anywhere else. I checked some transmission shops in the area and they all quoted me $800 for everything, parts and labor. Sloane quoted me $1700 because they weren't sure I needed a flywheel too. I didn't, they machined it in the shop without sending it out ($-100) so I saved money. Job came out to $1100 -- Clutch felt weird the first 500 miles but now I've settled into it and it feels good. Car's running well and I'm happy, just broke, thanks for asking.

 

That's good to hear. Clutch feeling weird being grippy, and not slippy you mean? Broke? I hear ya! Couple bucks in the bank and some change in my pocket. That's all I have, and have had for the past month or so. First paycheck since early march coming in Wednesday @ midnight. AHHH

Never get a personal trainer at a gym, they try to kill you! I'm getting two teeth extracted at the dentist tomorrow.. so I have that going for me.

I'm taking a bucket of coins to Commerce Bank today so I can pay for the dentist to fix my face

 

Holy Poop! That's how Shaun put the springs on my car! LOL!

 

hahahahaha.

 

hey hey, i actually used a jack. and i'm not the only one to blame here.

 

So, I took a tupperware container full of coins to Commerce Bank (yes, they're open 7 days a week) and came away with $189... fits so nicely in my dollar sign money clip
