Ah, so that's the trick to being able to see your brake pads...

It’s been a good investment. I need to weld a receiver to the front to mount my 5k winch. Strapping it to the front feels a little sketchy sometimes.

I am currently listening to Robert B. Parker's Jesse Stone book series. In the book Blind Spot (2014), a rich kid who gets kidnapped at the very opening of the book drives a red Scion FR-S. I think that's the first mention of one I've heard/read in a mainstream novel.

Do we want to plan a Diablo Dam run? I really just need to drop the car and align in to get it driveable. I had it almost there but ran out of room on my camber plates. And buy a battery. And change the oil. Should probably align your car too lol.

Yeah! Let's do it. I pussed out and made an appointment with Garth for an alignment tomorrow. I can head down this weekend if you want a second pair of hands.

I wish I knew where I put my toe plates. I still can't find them.

I will look and see what my weekend work load is. I know I still have a few things to do that didn't get done last weekend.
