Painted suspension components...going back in!

WTF? Stay away from the dealership. Which ground wire is bad? Engine harness? Body harness? Charging harness?

You can buy a used harness for about $100 or get someone to make you one for $600 or so.

$2800 is about the price of a new engine + charging + body harness. I'm sorry but someone is trying to bend you over.

Yeah, we filled up at the station were we met up, 3rd exit off of 75 in Georgia. You guys leaving thursday morning again, and if so want to meet up and try again for a caravan (or if your feeling real frisky, a train)?

I may already be up in Atlanta a few days before DGRR on business. I may stay up there a few days after as well.

My honest recollection of last year was Friday was the best day of driving. Saturday all the weekend cruisers were out there and it was slooooooooooooooooooooooow at times. I don't know if I'll drive Saturday this year...go white water rafter or wax Marks's back or something.

Saturday the best time to drive was in the morning, but I agree that friday was the best. Rafting sounds interesting, is that something that the lodge sets up? I might be interested.

And if you are waxing Mark's back, let me know so I can bring the camera and the popcorn!!
