so instead of showing up, like was said, just a flatbed shows up, and whisks my car away to his shop, leaving me in control of nothing.........

Would love to know how the car drives since you replaced the springs that is if it ran long enough for your to find that out. Interested reading on your restoration. |

well, i have the car back again now, so far shes been doin great! no fluids draining out! yay!
there was a wicked rainstorm that flooded some of our streets pretty deep......
this was on the way back from the shop......on the medians were all sorts of stalled cars............so, just to be smug and snobbish i drove the low lane,
right lane, and i was the only car in there, but i cruised right through, like a land-yacht, casting a nice bow wake! lol

last night i went over to our "racetrack" (35 posted) where my little brother and his friends do their sport-biking at sometimes, and we all ran the course twice......the first time i hesitated, as the new suspension has a new feeling to it, but the second time through i was able to maintain 70-80mph on the curves, and hit 110 down the straightaway..................
they of course do 80-90mph on the curves, and go like 170 on the straight, but they ride sportbikes, and i ride my stylish metal "cage" |
