After i figured out the issues of my rear diff acting strange after grinding the rear calipers from a LS1 car o fit my 15 inch welds, i had to beat on it on a lonely road to make sure it was still good enough for highway use.

And this one, you can see where my face acknowledged a slight turn in the road where you can end up in a bad spot if you didnt turn a bit, LOL:
