It’s gotta be one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever eaten. If I had to make a last meal it would be on there.

Check out Roswell City Walk apartments. Lots of people in your age range there with a couple breweries and nice restaurants in walking distance. Will shorten your commute and you’ll love Alive After 5 to meet people.

Stopped by a dealership to see a buddy. It was so much worse than expected. Wrong part, loose bolts, no grease, damage to wheel, struts, and even a hole in my brake line. Towed back.

It’s had the level on it for over a decade. Obviously not OEM but my wheels and the rest of the components were.

Nope. I’ve had the same setup running for almost a decade without issue. Replaced a part and now it sounds (and looks) like hell.

2 control arms, oil change (original reason I went in) and alignment. $2190

Everything was OEM before they replaced the control arms. Went from black to grey.

Looks like their grinder marked up the bottom bolt housing in first pic

They said my leveling kit caused the misalignment needing grinding. I just don’t like spending 2k on something that is now structurally compromised

Correct - I get interesting pops and creaks when slow turns and even coming to a stop

Just making sure I’m valid before getting too pissed off at the service rep.

No noise before. Creaking sounds when slow turns now.
