If you're in the Fairfield area, go to Alignment Shop.

I cant move past steering wheel controls. I wish they would just leave it an option

I live in Vallejo, but I'd rather go to one of the shops that were suggested some time ago (vendors here) if I'm going elsewhere.

I only sat in it for a minute. They do make the steering wheel look awkward, especially since there are a couple dummy/blank buttons. I didn't get to drive it since we're trading it out tomorrow (and it's still not PDI'd).

You can usually trust an Auto-x guy with alignment shop reccomendations. You could also ask Neal who he partners with in Concord if you want to stay North Bay. Otherwise Motorsport Techniques in Hayward is probably the closest to you that many people use.

I never set foot inside that store, since I always went to the other one down the street... but I guess I won't get to anymore... at least until they rebuild.

Is this a call for help? True story. Our next door neighbor at our last house was a hoarder. Our next door neighbor at this house was a hoarder (he died recently). How hard is it to through shit out? Well, that depends on how many dumpsters you need. I think our recently deceased neighbor needed four. Four dumpsters. Not little ones. Not those little things on the front of a truck. I mean full 20-foot dumpsters.

I normally don't do this, because I don't consider my DJ mixes anything special, but if anyone wants to hear some drum n bass let me know, and I will PM you a link to download a mix I did recently.

Could be good music for driving. Subwoofer a must
