    🔧 BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

    It was rubbing those when I first installed it and I cut them off then. I'm going to see what I can do about taking it off without actually removing the exhaust because that's a huge pain with the custom exhaust.

    🔧 BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

    Got it on the ground and Matt did a redneck alignment to get it good enough to not ruin the tires until I go for a real alignment. Took it for a short drive and while it goes straight holy hell the driveshaft is rubbing the exhaust shield. It was very close before but now that there's new...

    🔧 BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

    From what I gather, the tool isn't needed if you go with the solid bushings. I was going to go with poly but I couldn't seem to find the tool, so I went with the solid ones. I will say that there isn't much room for error with the solid bushings, they had to be in the exact center for the bolt...

    🔧 BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

    I think all of the major wrenching is done for now. Those subframe bushings were a huge pain to get lined up right. Got almost everything back together, all that's left is to get the exhaust back on and then figure out the alignment. Here is a picture of one of the bushings in its home, and...

     HOLY SHIT FUCK

    Don't be a hero. Unless you're protecting yourself or your family, definitely not worth it.

     HOLY SHIT FUCK

    Running somebody over who is currently shooting at you? Probably justified because your life is in danger. Running somebody over who shot at you after you got away from the threat? No longer self defense. What an idiot.

    🔧 BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

    Today went better, disassembled almost all of the rear suspension, except for the rear control arm bushings. Still need to lower the cradle a bit more for access. Gonna mess with it more after work the next couple days and see how far I get. I'd like to have it aligned next week so I can start...

    🔧 BUILD The seemingly never ending GTO project.

    Got the front suspension done today. And in typical fashion it fought me way more than I thought it would, especially because this car is rust free. Had to cut both tie rods off because for some reason the inners and outers were seized together. And then I had a hard time getting the passenger...

    💬 OT If the US collapsed, and each state became its own country...

    Tennessee and Texas. And then they would merge and conquer Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama to be come Texassee. Also Michigan would be absorbed into Canada because of governor Witless.

    Food / Drink Hot dog stuffed crust pizza

    Oh man I never considered hot dog with pizza! That might be good. Definitely better than hot dog flavored water.

    🚘 Automotive When to put on the summer tires?

    I usually wait till mid April, when I get the GTO out I switch the Audi to the summer tires. This year I did it an early March when we had those warm few days because the snow tires were screeching a lot on normal speed turns and I didn't want to tear them up.
