so what little i've driven this car made me realize that i can not tolerate my anal sphincter puckering at the site of every pothole and bump in the road everytime i get in a low car. i'm just getting too old.... so i wouldn't be surprised if bags end up on this one...

anyway, a not so fun day today...

decided to head out to a local gtg last night and the suspension settled more than i had thought it would. having said that, axle rub a dub, dub.... lol...

that wasn't the not so fun part of today. about 3 days ago get a letter from the DMV stating my car will have it's registeration suspended in the next month because i failed to pay insurance...WRONG. long story short, when i transferred the Oregon title over to my name, the clerk at the DMV had put the title number where the VIN number was suppose to go. so the correct VIN i had given my insurance didn't match the VIN on my new GA title. Either way, the DMV had made the mistake and I had to correct their mistake for them. I had to drive the rabbit to the auto theft department and have a officer verify proof of VIN, then I had to head out to the DMV and have them correct the issue and waive the fees associated with it. not the biggest issue in the world, but still annoying especial when i had copy of the Oregon title and that wasn't good enough for them and that it took up half my day....

to do all this i had to remedy the rubbing issue and raising the coils was not an option so since i plan on notching the frame, i temporarily went ahead and took out a little more than an 1/8th of an inch and issue was resolved... kinda looks OEM to me...



besides that, i think i just ordered a bunch of accessories for the motor... lol...

take care,
nash
