Default nope. it's at YBH in Edgemont. it took Bill, the tow guy, and I about 2 hours to get it flatbedded..

Extremely nice guy who took his time. We pulled it from the rear, since I remembered reading that guy's post from last night about how the front end links are set up wrong and scratched his bumper covers. Bill actually already knew that. He actually put a towel inside the rear ring so it and the rear bumper wouldn't get damaged. I was extremely impressed.

So, now I wait to get any news from them. Something tells me that it's not going to be looked at until tomorrow.

solid as a rock. fluid level is down, but still between min. & max. it keeps building pressure.

Default oh yeah, it blows. i think it took 8 minutes to get up 90+ on 476 N, which what are those things

that are being installed on 476 with the solar panels on a poll? I saw one after the Sure-to-kill (76) exit. I also saw one being installed on 309 N after the turnpike exit. Are they radar? If so, that's really going to **** me off because that's my commute home. 55 on 309 is impossible --- traffic flows at 80, except around the turnpike exit.

geez...I'm bored...maybe I'll play with my sig pic since that needs some attention.
