So, in trying to cut out "unnecessary expenses" you drive the most gas guzzling vehicle you own as a daily driver?

JimmyMethod, you are starting to wear on my last nerve. FYI, not much difference between the CTS and the 2wd Cherokee, mileage-wise.

I think so, but again it's not on a level surface in that pic. I'll try and get her out today and take a pic or two on a flat area to give you a better idea.

What springs are you getting?

This is more like the four horsemen I was referring to, from the official Notre Dame athletic website:

Here are some I snapped today. I'm not really happy with these pics, but you get the idea. The asphalt is too dark and lighting not really good. Too overcast.







Here is a closeup of the front. Look closely and you can see the green of the Tein springs and green of the Project Mu brake pads.

Sorry I didn't have it immaculately detailed for you James, as I know the T-bird is right now. wiseass Paintjob and such is forthcoming.

Actually, those are OEM Nissan and they work pretty well. Could certainly use some blues or some AGX's, but I'd really just rather have coilovers.

Heh, the rivalry between pretty much ANY of the WCHA schools is scary. I produced the Mavericks television broadcast 3 years ago, and holy crap. That was the year they were actually good, and it was just amazing when SCSU, UND, and U of M came to town. Badger games were good too.
