    Kimm'r had an '82 Celica. We paid $7500 for it new. Ran great when I junked it. Rust just ate it away. Was a fun car. Ran Tail of the Dragon a few times with it. (Her grandparents lived in Tennessee) That car drove like it was on rails.

    What did I do to piss off the gods of shipping this time? I ordered 5 new wheels and 4 of them showed up yesterday. Fedex tracking doesn't show that any of the 5 were delivered and my order says delayed with no new delivery estimate. Called Summit Racing and Fedex and nobody can tell me where the missing wheel is. I want all 5 before I take them for mounting and balancing.

    Summit Racing customer service has been great but this is on Fedex and they're just the worst. So now I sit and wait and stare at 4 wheels and 5 tires in my garage.

    :annoyed:

    Even with missing 1 wheel, I bet your drooling over what you do have.

    155#'s on camber bolts? Sound close?
    When ya only weigh 145#'s, that's about where it stops. :)
    I still have the tires on so going from underneath I can do pull ups with my torque wrench without good leverage at 140 ft#'s.

    Work screwed me, no lube. Just got home and packing/loading up. Still need to go shopping for supplies. I would wager @pearing shows up before me. Maybe arriving before midnight, will try not to wake you up.

    Edit: ETA now tomorrow due to unexpected mayhem with metric bolts.

    I am. It's such a tease. It seems that over the last year or so the only shipping snafus I have are with stuff ordered for the truck. Those are the hardest things to wait for!

    Timms hill was enjoyable as usual today. Nature really went all out with the different colors, absolutely beautiful.

    Yeah it was pretty outstanding. Also it being that early makes me nervous for what's coming lol

    Forecast for Wausau next week 10/1 is near 80 again, don't worry fall is going to stretch to January again. Colors are likely early because of the warm temps and bad drought this year. Only part that sucks is on hot drought years the colors don't last long so it'll be over faster than usual.

    Is this from a fire tower? Or, drone pics? I've been meaning to check out Timms Hill for years.
