    What do you think of the new one? I've never seen the original one in person. Been to the new one tons of times.

    The new one is cool, havent been in a long time. I like the old building more, they use to do everything in house too now its all off site or out sourced.

    Same here. My '06 Honda Civic was free, and my 5-Lug was $600.

    It's just fun to see it all in one clean package.

    Unless someone convinces me otherwise, I'm picking up that Blue-Point socket set.

    Might wanna wait until you put your new suspension on, undoubtedly there will be hidden fees in that project.

    Good idea.

    What else could go wrong with that? Let's see. I had the front coilovers rebuilt, they're ready to go on. The rear shocks are basically brand new, and the leaf springs are worn-in from the last owner. Only thing I can think of is greaseable shackles, and maybe new ball joints for the SPC control arms.

    Always seems like the Snappy/Cornwell/Mac/Matco guys do the same to the poor dumb bastards that enroll into UTi, Wyo, or Lincoln that don't have good sense not to waste loan money on things they don't need yet or can buy along the way for less.

    I like finding my tools.

    I found these last night doing rounds. Soaked them in vinegar for 5 hours and they cleaned right up.

    I went to the 2016 presidential inauguration in D.C.

    I saw an awful lot of non-descript white Verizon box trucks parked around the city.

    Now that I think of it, I've never seen a Verizon box truck in my life up until that point.

    They do that for big events to avoid slow speeds. They tap into different places for internet and provide 4g towers. It's really common around huge sporting events too like superbowl and world series. Even huge local events they'll do it
