But if I did go, I could bring my air compressor and some tools....

Gas is a bitch but helping a guy out and hanging with fellow car guys for a day is worth it in my book.
And yes I did vote just for kicks.

sorry but it would have been 35 to overnight, I didn't think it would be fair to charge you over 60 for that little crap. luckily its not major parts and you can still have the big stuff done
