Thanks guys! The place is pretty sound, just needs some touch up to be to my standards, going to be exciting. Rob, you're welcome to come down whether I need the help or not sexy.

I am fortunate in the cars I have had the privilege to drive, I wouldn't want anything to take away from that.

Only thing my car breaks is itself.

And Agreed. You're not gonna be allowed to drive to many cars out there if you are taking them for a spin like d!ckhead. Plus, you have the added advantage of that detailing business that has been taking off for ya.

Not this shop Ken, only 12ft ceilings, may look into a low profile lift just for getting wheels off. That's for later though, it works well for what I need and that's all I'm concerned about right now.

Every area is a bad area when you have something desirable that other people know about. And when it comes to the trailer, i meant taking the whole trailer. Even one of those locking hitches will still ride on the ball enough to get it moved. It should be stored in a cctv monitored garage if you're serious about security. It's how I do it and my cars are damn near worthless compared to his. The only benefit to the trailer is out of sight, out of mind, and that's pretty important.

rear brake caliper piston is frozen. I couldn't compress the piston, so i removed a shim so the pads wouldn't ride against the rotor. my thinking is that since i can't compress it, it shouldn't be able to extend to push the pad against the rotor so it shouldn't rub on my way home. i'm just getting tired of having to fix something every other week. I don't have the time or money right now.
