im off of mercury and jefferson, riverlands apts. I can help you with any probs you have with the car, ive been a mechanic for the past 4 years. i am a diesel mechanic in the navy also.
y cant you drive the car?
have you heard of the ratpack? its a vette club and we have a meeting every third sat of the month at a different hooters. we should hang out sometime for some beer or something, and maybe you can go to one of our cruises
btw kybs are red and white. alot of import and gm fwd guys use them, but i dont know if they are up to par with my driving style.
pm me back and maybe we can set up a date to put those things on!!

I put KYB'S on my 85 2 weeks ago. Drives alot smoother. I only drive maybe 3,000miles a year max., so these work out great. Bilstiens have a little more gas pressure in them, I don't need the best for the amount of miles I drive.
