Well, the alignment was pretty far out. Too much toe front and rear. I also found a sticking brake. It coasts so much better now. It probably won't show for a couple of weeks because it won't stop raining and people won't stop crashing and causing delays on my commute! I can't believe my mpg was so good this summer with these issues....can't wait to see what it's like when it gets warm

I've been having some other issues with the car, but with 299,197 miles on it, I can't really complain. Got a worn out acc. pulley and it wont' get over 180 degrees...so I still got a little mpg to be gained.

As I was laying under the car, adjusting the tie rods, I began to dream and plan a belly pan. I got some work to do before that though....

I've also got a Diesel project I'm itching to start
