I have a lot to do today and all this week. Preparations for the beach vacation. Pace Car needs front rotors and oil changed. Plus there are so many other things around here to do. It's a lot of WORK to go on vacation.

Some vacations are more work than it seems worth especially going camping, depending on if you have a tent, trailer or motorhome it can be quite the task gettin set up.
As usual not too much here today, monte is getting an interior detailing done later, then i have work this afternoon.

Morning All,
Space - Interesting pic today. Kinda weird, a little dark. I like it.
Got caught in a wicked storm on the bike yesterday leaving a meeting across town. I think my cell phone may have fallen out of my pocket while scrambling to put on my rain gear. Can't find it anywhere. Crap... I'll head back over there today to see if it's lying on the ground where I parked. If it's there, it will likely be trashed from water damage or possibly crunched to pieces under a tire.
Ordered new tires for the bike this morning. Riding home in the rain yesterday convinced me that my tread is dead. Or dead enough that it can't sufficiently move water out of the way. NOT a good feeling when the front end starts to get a mind of it's own.

Morning friends, colleages, and mcfers!
Working as always, (seems as its the story of my life lately)
Looking at new struts and springs for eleanor.
I found some progressive coil, stock ride height springs meant for heavy towing... I had some on my old car and it used to hug the corners, I'm wondering if the same would work here.
Also, what is the differance between kyb struts and monroe struts?

Yeah, it was time to drop a little coin on the Monte...lol. When everything gets here I'll get it installed and post some pics. I know my memory stick that has the pics of the Monte on it still works - I checked it again this morning.

Hey Dustin - I use Monroe's on my old Jag. They provide a nice firm ride, very little roll in high speed corners.
I've never used KYB's. But I've read they're about 10% stiffer than stock. Unless you upgrade to the adjustable ones; then you can adjust significantly stiffer than stock.
