Ryan and Leroy would be happy to work on your car with my new set of tools I was gifted on Saturday. LOLOL 
J/K (inside joke)
I just wanted to say THANKS! Just a little waxing poetic...
I appreciate everyones thanks here and the pics are awesome guys, thanks.
I wasn't sure how this club/group was going to be when I first started reading the posts in this forum so I lurked for quite a while. My concerns were I wanted a group about people, commaraderie, cars, etc etc. I have not had luck in the past with clubs and I am glad to see this group is about more than the cars! I purposefully waited to register for Carlisle to see what the synergy/group dynamics were and I must say you all were great. I was concerned about so many people I didnt know at my house but you know I felt like I we were all old friends by time everyone left and the alcohol didnt even come out. (Somehow I dont think that will happen at Carlisle) I know I didnt meet everyone and I am sorry about that but I hoped everyone felt welcome. I know you all made me feel welcome at my first meet and during this meet and I look forward to many meets to come.
It wasnt alot of work organizing this event but honestly thats my job during the week and it didnt seem like work at all for this event...Doesnt mean I want to do it again in another week
but I enjoyed it and look forward to many more of these. I wont be seeing you at HIN as I have other plans but I hope our paths will cross again at future meets and at Carlisle in May.

Ali_SC3 and I mini-caravan'd back to Falls Church/Alexandria. While we were on the toll road (267), we came up on a yellow Ford GT. I was really hoping that he'd want to "play" a little but, he was getting off at the next exit.
I think Ali and I could have at least given him a little run for his money...within the speed limit, of course.

I have corrected the control arm bolt as best as I could without a breaker bar, but its still on way too tight. I am truly kicking myself for not using the torque wrench for the right amount of torque and just pushing on the breaker bar until i couldn't "push" anymore. the passenger side is only 1/8 inch higher than the driver side now, but i am getting a breaker bar and torque wrench of my own and my buddy is loaning me a bay in his pops car shop on sunday to fix it. This time I am going to pre-load the control arms to the right ride height for the best possible ride and height balance. wish me luck!!
