Congratulations, Winbar ! Try not to sleep in the garage tonight when you bring the car home ( I did )

Package arrived today. Djomlas & Hyung, I'll see you guys Sunday, but if you want to pick up your stuff sooner, shoot me a PM.

Bill, Super, Eric, I work in Hoffman Estates and live in Lake in the Hills. Shoot me a PM and we can work something out...

Nick

chicago menchanics?

hey Chicago crew - any recommendations for a good mechanic, other than Eurosport on Bensenville? I want to get the 15K check up but want someone solid that I can develop a relationship with. Also is it worth the $800 to have it done?

I just desnorkeled the car....WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS. Maybe my expectaions were too high, but I didnt notice too much of a sound difference. However, I only started it back up again and havent driven it; maybe the sound is from actual driving? Ill find out later...
