    FYI: Google maps estimates you travel 45 at all times reguardless of highways, city streets, or back roads. 45MPH no matter what. So just figure that in.

    And I would love to join but I'm leaving for Houston for the weekend on Friday

    Damn Lockheed employees think that everyone gets every other Friday off.

    I'd love to help, but I've got a job to go to that day.

    Are you just doing shocks and springs or something. That's a super quick job with the air tools.

    Work done! (with a few breaks in between)

    The front hubs were surprisingly easy. Bean, how did everything go with the Vdub?
