The sub is out because I needed access to the PS lines and rack. What a silly setup that is! Ohh, and does anyone know the offical name for the lower-rear engine mount? I get blank stares from the stoners at the local parts stores when I ask about it... :) -- Steve 98 Mystik 2.5 V6

They don't know anything past "Yeah man.... I need some new rims for my trans-am..." They're all mullets here, dressed like it's still the 80s... Mullets just scare me ... anything that ugly scares me. -- Steve

Well, I realized that their computer now showed they were down in stock on APP and high on AP, and I paid the right amount, so to simplify the process, I went in, asked for a 4-pack of double-plats, handed the guy the old ones and told him to reshelf them, then walked out. I figure it's a lot easier than trying to explain to those idiots what they did wrong. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
