They do have grills. Hopefully we will get a spot that has one. Is everyone from here meeting at the shop n save? So it looks like we will just buy a pack of burgers some chips and stuff. Id day everyone can just bring their own drinks and then we will just split the bill from there.

There you go.
Are you going to the meet on the 7th?
Also today I took out my oil catch can and all the stuff that was needed to support it. I think it looks a lot cleaner. So im gonna replace that I think. If anyone wants it let me know I may sell it.

Someone backed into my car today while I was parked. I got his insurance and had a police report filed so he is paying to get it fixed. Minimal damage really, it dented the rear bumper and the rear left quarterpanel. The quarterpanel had a nice dent in it. Cracked the left rear tail light, and spiderwebbed the paint. Could have been worse, but still pretty shitty.
I guess that means we will have to delay the spring install party, Adam. I've got the money on me, but we can't really put them on til I get the car back. Hopefully I have it back before the BBQ.

How easy is it to replace a seized tie rod? Was getting an alignment done today, and they say they can't get it to turn. Their labor charge is $120, and I will probably be getting the part(s) at the dealership (unsure if they need both inner and outer; they only said they needed inner).
Currently running with a toe out on the front driver's side of 0.8 degrees; hopefully this isn't horribly significant. They say it'll pull, but I haven't noticed so much.

depends on how it is seized if it's the outer seized to the inner it might just need some heat and a few good wacks with a hammer to free it. i have had more problems when the bolt was seized cause they seem to break too easily.

I was sitting in the car while they were doing the alignment and saw the guy torch it at least twice. I figure I'll just buy both inner and outer, and if they only use one then I'll return the other.
Alignment adjustment parts of the car frustrate me in general; especially with how stubborn my cam bolts have become. I'd like to just replace it all and do proper preventative maintenance on them to keep this same thing from happening again; I'm just too scared to mess with it.
I don't think I'm gonna get another alignment for a long time after this for fear of something else getting stuck. I'm pretty sure the cam bolts are next.
