My new tires came in! Mounted them today, and they feel much better than the "slicks" I had before. No pics. Camera decided to not work.

Well, I talked to my Auto Tech teacher, and the school changed how the Auto Tech class is ran. They also locked the back gate that lets you get to the shop because they fired the back gate security guard. So, now I have to go pay and get an alignment done instead of doing it myself. Oh Well...

thats a good idea old skool, i'd just never trust my high school auto tech teacher to even touch my car. his last bit of advice he gave me was that when you change your oil you should pour in your new oil, pull the drain plug and let it run for 2 minutes, plug it up, and you're good to go. he ran his suburban for 15k miles before oil change and it was not a pretty sight

it was an 02 or 03. he drove it all over the state of michigan and it ran like a**. it was nice though when we had football stuff. he was our coach and would let us drive it when we had to go to "official football stuff". it had a dvd player in the back.

he's an idiot, retired from teaching though.. he's still coaching which means this is his 47th year coaching at my high school. He runs the same plays today that he did back in the 60's and 70's.

back to your stuff, where do you plan on going for your alignment?
