New to AZ..thank you for welcoming me last night

[kayaked56]

Thanks for all of the nice folks who spent some time with me last night.

My name is Greg. I was with my son last night (the only LC owner that thougth to bring the boy). I was driving the 40th 80 LC.

Great cars and a nice place...reminds me of the old days of hot rods and burger joints. Maybe if we spend enough we can take over the spots in the Sonic.

On a side note I thought I would mention a Shop in town that is not dealing above water.

I left all of my tools in COLO until I can officially move all of my stuff. So I needed a quick oil change.

Here is the quote from Big O Tires on Baseline and Val Vista: KEEP THIS IN MIND: All of this work was done by meself of Slee shortly before I left to AZ.

Transmission Flush (No reason for the change): $109
Power Steering Flush (never even thought of it 200K on th clock) $69
Air Filter Replacement: $19
Fuel System Service/improvemet: $79
Repack Front wheel bearing (nice to know they have the fish scale): $212
Alignment (Slee wld love to know that less than 1k ago it needs it again) $69
Replace lower Radiator hoses: (Sponge WTF is that): $195
Radiator Cooling Flush: $69

I politely paid my $19 oil change with my coupon and left....they must have seen me coming.

Greg

Good to meet you last night. If you need to work on your stuff I'm sure there would be some in the group that would lend you some time. I got tools if you get in a situation.
You will be officially welcomed when your rig has a few Arizona rocks behind it. Just keep looking out for runs.
Look at the Fossil Creek cleanup to meet more CSC folks.
Thanks
Don

Welcome to the oven!

X2 towards that particular Big O...

My sister took my dad's Crown Vic (Ohio plates on it) over there a couple of weeks ago when I was out of town because it kept dying on her and the A/C quit. Only 100K miles on the clock and they told her it needed a new engine and a host of A/C parts (compressor, dryer, evap, et al). They gave her a quote for $6K! I got back from my trip, replaced the crank sensor and it runs like new again. The A/C WAS working, but the diverter valve's vacuum line had a crack and was letting hot coolant run through the heater core. Replaced the line and the A/C is back to making ice cubes. Total cost was $26 for a new sensor.

It was great meeting you too...great to have another Colorado boy in the group (even if you did go to CSU) I live in BFE but if you need anything as far as space or tools to work on your rig mi casa su casa. BTW I said I would post a pic of my roof rhino lining so here it is.

BTW...is that a lab or a golden? We have two labs...great dogs!!
