aaron, make sure you blue tape your hood, or something. much more debris/gravel on dessert roads, than the 91 or 405

Also make sure the chains aren't going to rub the ground. Nothing like flying sparks to ruin paint.

Second on the taping of the front of the car! Blue painters tape, sticks just enough but peels right off and no danger of pulling off paint or leaving a residue. Also tape off where the wires for the rear lights run.

Tape some cardboard to the windshield too.

I've got some more ear plugs for you if need them but you're supposed to put them in your ear. Don't swallow them this time!!

Caddy, my ass. Front and rear swaybars, 180# springs, Koni's/Bilsteins, no heat exchangers.
But Rob, don't be too rough on the kids. They're just soft. Ron and I walked 10 miles to school in the snow, and it was uphill, both ways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
