    Sorry to see that. That sucks!
    At least that's all they got. I've seen people here take a hammer and smash the window and hop right in and gone in seconds. Before you could say or do anything. Mostly white trash pieces of shit that do it in my area.

    ...too much shit to list.

    It comes with two fittings, fixed and flexible. The flexy one is awesome and the grease gun design allows one handed use.

    Fuck Firestone. When I lived in the bay area I used to take track car and rigs to Custom Alignment in Mountain View. They are not cheap, but they always aligned it exactly how I wanted it.

    I just called Custom Alignment and Alligntech in SJ. They both quoted about $150-200 which sounds about right. Both companies sounded like they know what they're doing.

    No cameras facing the parking for our complex for some stupid ass reason. they are all on the opposite side facing the office. New property owners are coming in right now though. told them what happened. they are working on getting more cameras installed and they are going to install a light by my truck (since my spot is the only one not near ANY light, and it's secluded in a corner) new lights will be here today or tomorrow, and still deciding on a dash cam. buddy of mine is trying to get me the hookup on one from his police department lol. audio/video inside and outside of vehicle. I guess alot of trucks with lights have been dealing with this lately. working with a local welder on a bracket that will secure the light to the bracket and limit access to the mounting hardware

    I ordered my legacy plates on November 5th. Talked to them last week, and apparently all plates are at least 4-5 months out.

    No problem. My legacy plates took so long to get to me that by the time they showed up I forgot I even ordered them.

    I’m frequently there weekends with the kids. Look for a goofy dude with 2 half Asian kids (not @jberry813 ) ;)

    You go there often? Looking for an adult to climb with. My 7 year old isn’t heavy enough to belay me yet...older pics from spring/ summer.

    I'd love to be able to climb things again. Sucks getting old and broken. One arm only works a little and now the beer belly makes me have to hold on at length. Nether is a good combo when climbing.

    I know you said fuck firestone, but if you find yourself in Rohnert Park up here in the N.Bay, i have a tech at Wheel Works that kills it. And they accept the lifetime alignment too.
