Default Nevermind. I did something with a giant vice grip that I would never put in a tech write up.

I had to ask the kids to leave the garage and upped my homeowners insurance before the procedure.

Default Uhhh. No.

I'm not necessarily qualified and even if I were I am booked for about 10 days. Everybody wants everything for their boat by the 4th of July.

With you connections to the high end car guys don't you know of a an installer who can hook you up?

WTF are you doing with a radar jammer anyway? Is that different that a laser jammer?

Default Why not an engine swap to a nuclear powerplant as well? Plus you clearly need some armament.

Default Well, actually I have ordered new upper strut bushings and will need to reassemble

later this week. If you have the proper tools in Annapolis I would love to borrow them briefly. I could even bring my coilover assemblies up and just us the tool for 5 minutes and not even have to take it from you. How can we coordinate? Shall I send an email?
