I need to get a front end alignment on my Chevelle. Just seems like something is off.

In the process of getting together a budget/game plan for the next step with my truck.
I need more power. Have a rebuilt LQ9 on the stand... the plan was to do porrted LS3 heads with a bigger cam and loose converter. But, in all reality... I daily drive this truck and tow trailers with it. So... basically now smallish single turbo or a supercharger. Best option seems to be a supercharger. I listed the LQ9 for sale tonight.

Replaced the front shocks on the motor home today. Not too bad a job, I've read horror stories on the RV forums about replacing shocks. They definitely needed replacing. The front axle is rated for 7,500 lbs. I stood the old shocks on the ground and collapsed them with one hand, very little pressure. Sure hope it was worth it, $320 for 2 Koni shocks, and improves the ride.

Traded the wife's Buick in on a new Cadillac CTS yesterday.

Hank, did you drive it yet with the new shocks? Doug is on a 6 week Alaskan trip in his motorhome. He has had some bad luck so far.

Hey, been busy. No, haven't driven it yet, going on a short trip Wednesday so we'll find out. Sorry to hear about Doug's misfortunes. Drive a house across the country and for some reason things go wrong. If you own a motorhome you better know something about electricity and mechanical or you're going to be paying somebody for something frequently.

Doug called last night. He is in Homer Alaska. Will be there for a week or so. Now has a broken windshield, from some clown flying down a gravel road driving a dump truck pulling a fenderless trailer. Cucumbers are 6 bucks each in Alaska. Milk was 10 bucks a gallon in Canada.

Holy crap, that's an expensive trip.
Traded in the old Malibu and bought a new Equinox. It's one of the few vehicles with an auto trans that can be flat towed behind the motorhome. It doesn't weigh that much either. It's not a Cadillac but it actually has some pretty nice features. Now I have to order a new base plate for towing. Then I get to remove half the front end to mount it. |

Washed the motor home today. Scrubbed the roof the sides, front and rear. That was like a half a day washing that pig.
