I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I am pretty sure I won't be making another trip to Omaha or pretty much anywhere else till I am able to buy tires and get them on. The insides no have no tread left. I am actually really nervous to be driving around right now.
(drive) = Scared ( LOL )

My springs are here, YEAH! I am not sure when they can get put on and I am not sure if anyone is willing to drive to Shen to help me get them on. My next day off is this Sunday. The shop in Shen charges $200 to do it and thats almost all my tire money. I have enough to get the alignment done afterwards.

So if anyone can help me out, I would greatly apreaciate it. (yes)

Did you get your springs on over the weekend??I didn't do it this weekend. I thought long and hard, plus having no money to buy things like Penetrating Oil, I decided I would let a professional do it. My car having 76k miles plus being through 3 winters is a big facter in why I am not doing it. I know I could do it, especailly with help, but I don't feel like messing with it. When I did my Del Sol it was a Pain. It took allot longer than 2 hours.

The good news is I found out how much my paycheck is. I will have enough to get the springs put on, 4 new 205/45/16 Toyo Proxes put on, and an alignment done.

I got everything done yesterday which is the good news. The bad news is now I need struts bad. The struts will have to wait till atleast the end of next month.
The car looks and rides great but I found out that I have one strut that is leaking and the back ones are making noise now that it is lowered. I would've done it all at once but my tires made it so I have to do it now.

I will be going on the cruise to.

Well, it's hard to do everything at once, money-wise, and time-wise, too.
Glad you'll be making it Sunday. Hopefully the weather will be nice.
