    I feel like vaginal rejuvenation is cheaper than auto body work now a days anyway.

    My legend is well known.

    Also wooo, got my new Michelins on.
    So far the "wheel bearing" noise is gone and the tie rods are actually fine.
    Turns out it was my skidplate rattling around.
    Overall road noise, acceleration, and braking distance have greatly improved.

    Unfortunately no. The bolt broke off with the caliper on, so no threads sticking out or way to weld onto it. My dad took it to a machine shop today, but they still couldn't get it out, so I will have to wait till Monday to take it somewhere else. Really screwed up my weekend.

    One thing I know is the original bolts are not standard size and I think they're harder than many too.

    Yeah it's going to be a giant pain to deal with. To top it all off I am using my wife's friends car because they went to a concert and locked the keys in the car. Luckily I'm at home, but this weekend is quickly going down the drain.

    I haven't been there in years, it was messy but nice, it used to have steel 3 or 400 yds out. I didn't have any problems with tweaker types but most people I've talked to say it can get pretty sketchy out there. Up north I would suggest lake Pillsbury. There's also blm east of Hollister. I might be free next weekend and would be down for some shooting.

    If we come up with something cool, he will get it, and he will use it. He asked if I wanted to try trap shooting off the roof of his rig in the desert. Hella nice dude, and he beats the shit out of that thing. There were tree branches stuck in the rack when he came by. The sliders and skids on that truck are heavy as fuuuuuuuuu*k. It is really a functional setup. The extra fuel pump switch is awesome, and the Awning is legit. I think I created a monster with Mikal :D Pretty sure his next ride is going to be an F-type. His wife loves the nasty exhaust noise.

    Cow is fine but can be sketchy, depending on who rolls into the shooting range anyway.

    I'd go to Circle S, which is the range Shaggs just mentioned. Range master can be a bit uptight, but he deserves to be. I think it's $12 or something per shooter.

    I had a hispanic dad teaching his kid how to rack his XD while it was target changing time. I was directly down muzzle of the jackass, so I am thankful he can be uptight sometimes. Saved me from getting shot. Dumbass was handling a loaded firearm during target change... It's hella cheap to shoot there, and you can bring just about anything as long as it is legal.

    That's exactly why I don't like ranges with no ROs, they can be dicks but people are fucking dumb.
