Re: Sears Pointless: Are you ready?
Looks like we all need to add new wipers and some Rain-X to the list. As of today the forecast is for rain from Fri through Tues

hah! I thought you said you'd seen the car today. Suuuuure, just the decorations left. Yup, that's all. Car's aligned, battery isn't totally dead, ghetto strut work all dialed in, and huge tires/rims all fit perfectly.
Wait a sec - isn't it *your* job to worry?

Re: Sears Pointless: Are you ready?
Well, we identified the cause of our sloppy steering. At least the brakes have new lines and fluid in them.
And we're looking forward to the rain in the fine motorsports tradition of erratic no-hopers driving underpowered ill-handling cars who are excited to see everyone brought down to their level. This assumes we can get our windshield wipers functioning. With the steering wheel off maybe I can wire them to the horn switch or something.

Re: Sears Pointless: Are you ready?
Was just about to say the same thing, although I don't think it is a rule, just empirically unsafe. Didn't a car just go airborn in Houston because of tires sticking out past the fenders?

I didn't get them for free. They were about $500 including shipping.
But, wheels don't count the budget!!

carry a wood baseball bat. stick it between the tire and the fender. roll the car slowly and let the barrel of the bat massage the fender lip.
