I check out [www.albanygasprices.com](http://www.albanygasprices.com)

I always put 87 in it.

Buying $700+ worth of tires is a bit different than spending $85 on gas though.

Fixed most of the rear camber using the washer trick, found all the pieces of my front camber kit, ready to install tomorrow. Got tired of using back to black on some of the plastic trim on the car, broke out the plasti-dip.

Bought cutoff wheels to cut out the old control arms so I can put my toe adjustment arms in.

Replaced the speaker I burned the voice coil out of.

Soaked the shit out of my tie rods with PB blaster to hopefully get them freed up for my alignment tomorrow.

do it i went with a -12 offset and spacers in the rear to get the tires to stick out as i love that look they are a 33.5" x 12" tire if i went wider i wouldve never been able to keep them from rubbing i had to cut quite a bit off the bottom of the fender as it is…

I just really like the white letters. They are a bitch to keep clean though.

Today I replaced the pieces of tin that the front brake pads sit on because they were totally missing on one side and I washed off the mud bog paintjob. I’m about to clean and respray the airfilter because I forgot to earlier.

Wtf? Why would you have that junk on there. And you could prob run 75k with no air filter and not notice a difference lol. PJB

</div>

it was $18 shipped and a throw away paper filter is $12 so it makes more sense to buy something reusable thats cheaper than 2 throw aways.

Its not one of those stupid cold air intakes, its in the stock airbox.
