Same, hopefully my exhaust will arrive at my house in time. Maybe the weather gods will bless the weather & give me some nice sun to cruise in.

Yeahh but oh well I'd rather not make the mistake of some people I know of spending money on parts just to get the parts then regretting it once they later Modify their car. Rather do it once and do it right instead of spending even more cash in the long run ya know? Now if I could find someone who was a suspension guru that'd be pretty awesome

I just checked for Elk Grove Village, weather is 70% chance of rain tomorrow night! Why can't it rain during the week and be nice on the weekends. Damn you mother nature.
