Me my dumb *** i helped her with a quarter 3 sheetrock screws and a tube of red rtv i had in my door compartment

she was about 2 hours away from home and i told her to call me once she got home

and she made it home
she actually drove 2 weeks till she could afford a new radiator and it held up fine

So an update on the wheel and tire situation. These 15x7 maro wheels fit A LOT better than the 17x9's. They stick out further and have all around more clearance. The only thing that was problematic was when turning, it could graze the backside of the fender. So I bought a hacksaw from wally world and I hope to chop off those small bits of the fender to FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! clear these tires. The auto shop has already mounted and balanced the maro wheels and tires and all I have to do is pick them up from the shop tomorrow after cutting a bit of the fender. This has been a way bigger ordeal than I bargained for. Never again will I see lifts and tire fittings as simple. This is some of the most complex bs I've ever seen. But it should be all done tomorrow. You guys think a hacksaw would take that little bit of the fender I need off right?

Like this? Fender Trimming

I thought about buying a sawzall but have no cords in my apartment complex that I can access near the parking lot. And I don't want to shell out a whole lot for a cordless sawzall right now.

Let my brother drove my Blazer for 44 miles today to the gym and work because I can't drive. On the way home we found some backroads and I drove until the end of the backroads by the highway then let my brother drive again. Feel good to drive but have to watch out for the cops. Hope the court go good tomorrow morning for me.
