Jason, that was me in the teal Camaro honking and waving like a freak on the Blue Route during rush hour. laugh

Normally I would have been in the SVT, but I finally got my PA registration for it and sent it in for inspection. frown

I actually was gonna yell your name, but then you would have thought I was an SVT stalker or something, LOL. laugh

I spent the next 30 seconds trying to figure out who in the hell that was waving at me. I eventually remembered you mentioning the Camaro, so I actually figured out it had to be you. Nice to see you!

I was on the way to Villanova, for some sorely overdue maintenance on the SVT. Didn't have time with school, but it ended yesterday. Four hours worth of crawling around the car.

Did you notice the completely riceadelic Honda on the road at the same time? DUAL fart tip mufflers, awful Altezzas, bunch o'stickers. Last spotted north of I-76 but I didn't see if he got off or stayed on and I had to slow down for incoming traffic or I would have had trouble getting off at Villanova.

Glad to hear that you take car of your car. Hope is wasn't a big project.

If you're referring to the red DeSol, yeah, I unfortunately saw it. shocked The dual fart pipes swinging under the car made it look like it had balls (human balls and not horsepower balls). laugh

I passed him right before my Broomall exit.

Tire rotation, PS fluid flush, bleed clutch slave cylinder, replace + battery cable terminal, investigate oil cooler install setup. Nothing too big but I'm going on a ~2000 mile trip next week out to MI and back, so I wanted to make sure everything was copasetic.

That Honda was truly ridiculous. I loved the swaying dual mufflers. Wish I had my camera with me.

I have a DX3215 - the entry level Kodak. I like it, except it has problems with battery life using the rechargable set that comes with the docking station. Can't accurately charge and monitor the batteries. There is an upgrade for the firmware, but I need a memory card to do that. My model (probably not the one you are looking at) uses Kodak specific cards, and they are backordered. mad

I recommend their "Easy Share" docking station. Use it to u/l pics to the computer (via USB) and as a battery charger with the Ni-MH rechargable pack.

My friend (KPS SVT) has the 3215, but 1.3 megapixel just ain't my thing. He has the docking station and loves it.

I'm not gonna get the camera before this trip now. frown That lower control arm bill just put a big dent in my bank account. I could charge it, but I think I'll just take regular pics and scan them. frown
