I don't know if anyone is still wanting to meet this weekend at The Domain, but I'll start a roll call to see who all is still in. It sounded like noon on Saturday was a good time originally.

I would post pictures but I don't really know how to, plus my car is in the body shop. Can someone tell me how to for when I get it out?

I would personally see what Soulspeed would charge compared to what Lamb's would. The guys at Soulspeed are extremely knowledgeable about their craft. I do know that they have one of the best alignment machines in the state. Check out their website too at www.soulspeed.com. Anyone else feel free to chime in and help carLx out!!!
I was just looking back through here since I'm going to be coming back into town in a few weeks and wanted to see how things were going down in Austin.

I just came up upon some discussions about Soulspeed and I wanted to say, if you haven't already had you're work done, be extremely careful when dealing with them. Make sure everything is to your liking/there are no mess up's/damage. Soulspeed is one of the few places in Austin I do not recommend to others. They will NEVER perform any further services on any of my cars, sponsors cars or friends cars. Good luck to you though

That's interesting. I used to have pretty good experiences, but that was years ago. I will have to be careful in the future!

As far a the meet this weekend, I have family in town, so I'm not sure that I can make it

BigMikeISF will you like to discuss your bad experience with Soulspeed. Just went there few months ago to do an alignment by recomendation from Outcaster and have no problem. Just wondering, thanks.

I'm surprised you had a bad experience with them.

Well, now that it is Thursday, and pushing on Friday, I am assuming that nobody is interested in meeting up on Saturday. I guess someone else can try to organize something at a later date.

I wouldn't mind meeting up, but I'm guessing most people are out on the holidays. I'd prefer a quick bite Saturday during lunch.

Anti-recommendation is duly noted, thanks for the heads up.

Truth be told I did not end up going to soulspeed; rather, I had the "stealership" (Lexus of Austin) mount, install, and align my tires.

On a slightly unrelated note, I have to say I'm extremely pleased with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s for my IS350. Only problem is these tires cost an arm and a leg.

I'd most definitely be down for a get-together, but my mom is in town for the weekend. Any other weekend I'm good, or after work would be fine too.
