Shat! For the last couple weeks the front end of the car has been acting like Michael J Fox under low speed cornering... and by that, I mean, its been shaking uncontrollably. New tires/different wheels/new rotors and it still does it. Broken tie rods for sure. Doesnt feed back into the steering wheel just the whole front of the car goes into seizures...

I just happen to have a set on hand...
not like I ever planned for this day
But I dont feel like doing it before the dragon, so if it breaks while Im there, its going off the cliff and Im calling the insurance company

with my luck, damn thing will go off the cliff, landing on a giant pillow, and being picked up by santa and put back on the road, free of damage

So for the past couple days Ive been staying at Fontana Village and running the dragon like a mad man with some Saturn friends. yeah, all has been going well, I can tell the front end is still not how it should be, but it could be worse. could be like my buddy Tyler that came up with his 04 Z85 Colorado that may have just blown the motor trying to do a donut!
the car still wicked shakes when not under power, but as long as I plant it through the turns its good. Best part is pulling away from a couple of the guys here who are big autox'ers and having them say they are shocked at how the xB is doing here... and how they are surprised I havnt rolled it
even had the car on the cheola skyway up to 8500ft +sealevel and she didnt feel underpowered at all (however, I want boost again)
Good news is though, tomorrow is another day for me to fail, then back hom on monday to upload some vids and pics that night
