Default Oh, and a gas light question:

Fired up car for the first time in a few weeks yesterday.

Gas guage started out reading low, with light on. I thought I had a full tank when Iparked it..

After a few minutes guage went up, but light stayed on.

Ideas?

Default dealer in PA charges $100 (or did last time I went) in VA Beach they charge $150

I went to Firestone and got the lifetime alignment for $120 (on sale!). Have the car aligned twice and it paid for itself. I'm actualyl going to have it realigned before I put my regular rims back on.

I'll also do the same for my 4k, since the way that suspension is set up, if you LOOK at a bump the wrong way it goes out of alignment.
