I was climbing a hill at 5 am this November. It was freezing rain and a trailer truck was coming down ahead of me. It was trying to slow down but its trailer was going sideways and sweeping both lanes of the street. I stopped and closed my eyes, there was no way to escape. It stopped eventually just a couple yards ahead of me. Yeah, this was another winter I did not crash.

What size 16's or 17''s, and what tires?

what do ya'll think??

I wanted to back into something when tcoat and I drove through the hills? I thought it was just me?

You remember what happened when I was backing up with Tcoat in my car.

You guys be careful out there, word has it that ol @Tcoat and his attorney are mounting a huge lawsuit against the builder of the parking garage in Fife, the Emerald Queen Casino, the Puyallup Indian tribe, the city of Fife, the state of Washington, GM Corporation and the humfrz estate.

Word has it that he is going to use this lawsuit as a precedent to go after unsuspecting drivers that give him or have given him, a ride. My advice is, if you do give him a ride JUST DON'T BACK UP!

Careful, folks, Sapphireho is starting to stumble with his words.

I just knew that it would be just a matter of time before he ate some gas station sushi contaminated with brain eating ameba -

Too bad.

It just takes some prior planning not to get into situations where you have to back up.

I got pretty good at that, driving a tractor trailer, like this one (cept older and it was an IH), back when I was a teen ager. Except this one night in a small town in Kentucky, when I made a wrong turn - made the words "give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around" from a CW song be very real -

See? That's when @Tcoat swoops in with his team of lawyers. I'm screwed.

Well, OK. I suggest that the next time you are with @Tcoat, mention that your vision is "coming and going" here lately and your right knee is locking up unexpectedly; he will volunteer to drive and you will be off the hook -

I could sell that.

Installed lower control arms today and had to eyeball the camber.

Toe was affected by the camber change and my rear end became super darty -- above 50mph, the rear would want to step out every few seconds. I took a sweeper with a 50mph sign at 45mph and traction control kicked in to yank me in the other direction (I'd normally take this sweeper at 70mph+ with no drama).


I bet my alignment looked like this:

I've never felt more unsafe driving this car, so I parked it at a friend's place down the street from my alignment shop, which I am going to tomorrow.

Did not crash.
