    If so, you were about 15-30 miles from me at one point! lol.

    Neader, got a pic of the trailer loaded?
    10 then 20 out to Atlanta. I may take 40 back to take advantage of the colder temps. you could have convoyed with me to madness!

    I rinsed and polished up my festiva for tomorrow and finally got to stretch my legs and get some good home cookin' in my belly. Thanks to everyone who put on the pre FMV BBQ, and of coarse the event itself. This has already been worth the drive.

    OH crap, glad you found the problem, that would have been an exciting ride.

    Well, as everyone else heads off to madness, I'll be heading home from work early to install the set of four nice factory alloys (no center caps though) with some 8/32 tread Kumho Powerstars and the 158k white tach cluster on Green Car... all of which I got for <$100

    I refined my sleeper trailer and put in a floor protector. I cut the rug to fit and stapled it to the board. I folded up a mattress box and wrapped it in a mattress "wrapper". Then I wrapped, loaded, and secured a BP for motoxpress and a 323 auto trans for crazyrog17.

    I bought one when I changed mine.
    For $7 for a tool I will use for the rest of my life.
    I used the socket on a 3/8" wrench and put my jack handle over the wrench. The sensor broke loose with little effort thanks to the leverage. I don't think I used any penetrating fluid either. My car has no rust, though.

    I would recommend the socket. You can get your hands out of the engine bay so it is less likely to smash/gash something and you can add cheater bars for leverage. You also wouldn't want to round that thing off using a crescent or open end wrench
