Dont bother coming to superior, it's what I'd call a drive through town ha... Not to talk up my city or anything. I'd make a cruise up to Grand Marais, MN if you want to go to a neat little city. Make sure you get a pizza at Sven and Ole's 
Definitely worth checking out! I did the circle tour of the great lakes last summer, I highly recommend if you are from the area.
Wasn't flashing then, or now. I meant it the light flashed back on and stayed on.
I'll make sure I do that! You guys have meets ever?

I believe they're doing meets every other Sunday and for other events thru the summer, haven't been to any yet but I'm planning on getting up there once I get my car together, there are a bunch of guys in the metro who are active. The Facebook group is probably the best way to stay in the loop but check out the Great Lakes regional section here on CL too.

Mmmmm wheels.... Had to go somewhere bright to snap a pic 
Got to watch a drunk driver smack the curb a few times before pulling into the trailer park and escape the law..... I honestly hate where I live. Its sadly common ha.......... Anyways! The wheels fit good, the car DEFINITELY needs to be lowered. Now.
I broke a couple extensions getting the old lugs off. Factory torque spec is 76lb/ft?..... Some mechanic must have put a healthy coat of loctite on them as an awful joke. Maybe they were seized into place....

Last night I changed my pcv valve finally. It was clogged with oil, and let zero air through. Since then, my car isles higher in gear! I'll have to back off the throttle cable again now to set the idle right for good.

Thanks man, I've had a lot of GM F-Body's, and I'd honestly never go back unless the car was something special.

Regardless of how tight you pull the throttle cable it's controlled electronically. So it won't help with your idle being set. What you have to do is either live with it or remove the entire throttle body an intake manifold and clean them out. The a/c on helps because it's spinning faster and well basic mechanics to explain there.
As you tighten the cable the ecu will adjust the idle back to where it's at. Of course a loose cable will cause the engine to bog out.
