    I would have to say so. Nice work. Clean install for sure


    something else that made me cringe today:

    Wife threatened a craigslist ad if I don't get one of my cars out of the garage so she has a place to park.

      If I remember correctly, at the time it was the second fastest car through one of the car magazine's slalom behind the Corvette. I had a lot of fun with it on the back roads of southern Indiana. There was one particular tight correctly banked turn followed by a short passing zone - I was running behind a Z28 Camaro and was able to time things correctly to run much faster through the turn than he did, then jump around him in the passing zone. He tried, but couldn't pass me for the next 10-15 miles.

      Edit: My son was showing pictures my mom must have sent him - found this one (winter of 82-83?):



      Can you get off topic in an off topic post?

        I had to google the x11 because I didn’t know it existed. (Born in 92’ so that might be cringe worthy in itself to some)

        I love the styling on those! The hatch is like GM made an S2 Scirocco, and the notch back looking one looks amazing as well. Reminds me of those older 633csi BMW’s from the rear.

        And on topic - lime green paint. Ew.

          I had to replace these on a person's Silverado who complained of a vibration when hitting the brakes. The embarassing thing is, I work at Federal Mogul Motorparts, in braking. We make Moog, Fel-Pro, champion, National, Ferrodo and Wagner products to name a few. This person could've easily bought some replacement parts for cheap using our employee discount for pretty cheap but they neglected to do so.




          What brake pads? haha

            Closing frameless doors by the glass instead of the door body. IT'S INFURIATING.
