Default I see the two fastest wagons are grounded at the dealer...

I can't believe yours is still in the shop. Funny, I keep on smelling citrus. ;-)

Default Nah..

The first week they were just too busy to get to it. I stopped in there a few times. And Sean has been in there for his car too. They have just been slammed the last month.

But the past few days the wait has been engine blocks. I guess they only have one set for a 2.7. And another S4 was hogging them until yesterday. So they will finally get to my car on Monday. It will take them 8.5 hrs to switch out the steering rack, then do a 4 wheel alignment.
On wed (I was there to take pics) they had to put the car back together to push it out of the stall since they were waiting on the blocks and needed the stall. So the battery and stuff has been out of the car all week, just waiting..
And the thunk in my suspension shall be fixed too! Finally. He knows it's a bad control arm after I explained what it was and how I triggered it.

I'm not ready to send it back. but I am tempted to sell it, quit my job and move somewhere. I'm so bored. Already tired of corp america. :-\ I want a small company again.

Default mid life crises arriving ahead of schedule?

**** happens and it's all a roller coaster ride. One day, I'm bored of the S, another, I love it to death. I don't think it's boredom.

Sometimes I think It'd be great to just say fvck it and move to Spain and party it up on a daily basis.

Default I just got home.....BADASS drive......

Steve S. got a ticket in his Miata....

There's like 20 speeding Audis on Mt. Hamilton, and Steve S. decides to slow down to let the Miata cool down a bit. Ranger Rick sees his prey and tickets him for no front plate...

LOL...
