That's very true, Jesus. It was an expensive trip nevertheless. We had the
caster & camber set right, as much as possible, since the car still does not
have any fancy shocks, but OEM. A truly stock car. :) That trip convinced us
to hurry up and get the 7 finished; even with rebuilds every other year, it
is less expensive to run. (1 set of tires a year!) :) However, I do enjoy
driving the Camaro, even though it's a big green slug. :)
BTW, most of us speak from our personal experiences because that's what we
know.
