I don't want Clint's axles anywhere near me.
4 hours? That's pretty ambitious but I guess if it's a fully equipped shop it's possible.

It's actually my GM dealer. Pretty much the only shop I trust out here.

So, its been a while since I have been on. My mustangs clutch finally gave up on me. I had to wait for the bonus from my new job to pay for it. finally decided on the exedy Mach 350 clutch and it was so cheap I went ahead and also ordered the SR stainless steel clutch line. Spent a good two days on it and I have to say the difference in the clutch feel is like night and day, compared of course to my wore out stocker.

Now I just need to wait for tax returns to get some new tires. my fronts are wore the heck out, didn't even notice until the car was up on jack stands and I was underneath it on the creeper. funniest part of the whole thing was my 13 year old took the garbage out and came up to me and said "that huge thing in front of you car came OUT of your car!" lol. I'm slowly teaching her how to work on cars. I told her I didn't want her to be the poor damsel in distress on the side of the road broke down, that she needed to know how to troubleshoot and fix basic mechanical items on her own vehicle. So I started her off on her moms brakes

Thanks. With 4 girls and 2 boys my hope is that all of them will be able to at least have a working knowledge of cars and basic maintenance. Same for basic house hold repairs. And they will all respect and know how to operate a firearm. lol
