[ Guests cannot view attachments ] Went to Tennessee yesterday to see my great granddaughter. Drove back today. It was snowing. There is snow up towards the tops of the mountains but none laid around the house. It is 32 degrees. Not topless weather.

Congrats, Jim and Dick W, she's adorable.

Drove to work after a weekend of detailing before an awesome Mardi Gras party with Blushing Mimosas and watermelon jello shots enjoyed with wonderful friends.

Next weekend...THE PARADE! :yay:

Look at her - I think she is already eyeing the Solstice in the driveway!

She is cute.

Only difference in mine is the color of the bushings.
They only had black.
I used your instructions to a T.

He can't reach the brackets, I suggest he let the air out of the tires and lower the car for him to reach it.

Damn he might be short Critter but if he can reach all the way from PA to Hellinois...

"Pixie sword"?  Is that what you call it?  I hope your not trying to brag.

FYI
I didn't paint the brackets. That's how they came.  The ones on the sky are unpainted. 
Not sure why but they are the correct ones
 :idk:

So I can tap the original brackets and pass them off to someone else.

metal valve stems Smurf, and what are the chances the valve stem will be at the bottom of the tire?

You better bring your step ladder.
