I didn't even know about this. I think I might come down and see if any of my buddies from Redshift want to come down. How far is Suspuehanna from Wilkes-Barre anyone know? like 2 hours.

I would say about 2 hours. Check http://www.mapquest.com

You take I-81 to the Grantville/Hershey/I-743 exit. Take I-743 to Hershey Park.

I was being dumb... Remember that big-azz snow storm back in febuary? It started out so simple... shovel a path out to my roommate's car so he can get his hat and gloves. Sitting in the front seat of the car when we get there is a football and a frisbee. Work ends... play begins... It takes us all of about 30 seconds to lose the frisbee in the snow. So on to the football! We get a few passes under our belts so its time to get crazy. I tell him to throw one I can dive for... He throws. I dive. Where do I land? 2 feet of snow everywhere and I land in the one small, tiny, itty-bitty path we shoveled out to the car. Shoulder vs. Asphalt was a weak fight... it snapped like a twig.

By the way if you plan on using a jack or tent, please use some type of board underneath your jack and tent poles. They will have security running around so you do not damage the surface (which is brand new).

While rotating my tires, I decided to check underneath my car and noticed that I have a stripped drivers side motor mount bolt. One side is tight, no bolt on the other. Anyone know what to do with this type of problem? Sorry to go off topic but Im trying to get ready for Sunday!

Threads in hole and bolt are stripped. I went to Lowes and got a 7/16" tap kit and correct stainless steel bolt to match. The oem bolt is a 14 mm so this is slightly bigger and I think it will work. Going to try in about 10 mins. We shall see, anyhow I'm going no matter what. I think I have been cruising around with stripped bolts for a while. When I did my clutch I found passenger side mount was stripped also. I was able to slightly drill out an existing hole in frame to allow me to slip a nut in there and hold it with my finger. I just happen to check last night and saw the motor mount (urethane bushing) coming out of its correct position where bolt was stripped on drivers side.

I'm not going to be the first one to talk about this event. I will leave those honors up to someone who was actually able to partake of the course.
