that so calls to my inner cheapskate, and I'm always at wally world for something, lawn edging is going on the shopping list!

Right on, brother! I can't help myself sometimes - I just love the sound! bwahaha!



as far as the rear wheels and their current toe setting, this looks like the answer to my litle problem, 96-00 honda civic rear toe adjustable doo-hickies:


$38.99 free shipping - ebay (both sides)
(one side stock costs $5 less at my local auto parts place)

guess what my inner cheapskate wants me to do? damn right, I'm getting the blue ones! by the time the parts come in, and I finally get around to installing them, I think the suspension will have completely settled and it will be alignment time again.

I think -1.5 degrees is pretty reasonable for a daily driver and is good for tire wear, or so I hear.
That's a little above my head, but I like where you're going with that - I'm going to ask my local guy, he can build some pretty crazy stuff! If not, as adjustable as I will be with the rear toe adjustables installed, they should be able to hit the stock marks on my alignment and prolong tire life, if not anything else.
