[s-cars] Monday AM Update

Prior to Cubscout overnite (freezer camping) saturday, I rotated the
tires with my handy dandy super ultra el cheapO Harbor Freight impact
wrench.  I got it couple weeks ago for $49 , now is $59 w/case but I
think it still mismarked as "sans" case its $79.  Metric sockets were 20
bucks.  they sell a set of torques sticks too IIRC for $99.  Havent got
them yet though.

delugged the wheels post haste:)
They also have this 4 in 1 inverter, compressor, battery charger and dc
power source for $79.  This sounds too good to be true?

WRT Harmonic suspension resonances; I have been dancing around this
issue in various degrees almost since the eibach bilstein install.  Its
weird.  Since rotating tires has definitely transferred the issue to the
rear, I believe its mostly tire wear and alignment related.  So, next
step is to have tires rebalanced & tell em to do it right.  Then maybe
even go to the stealer "gasp" for alignment?

WRT to CD changers, I promise to get off my butt and finish the worlds
longest iPod install by this weekend so no one needlessly invests in cd
changer.  Would love to see the urS leapfrog all 2003 vehicles in music
selection.  Does any model even offer this as an option yet?   Its been
sitting on my bench test area for too long.

WRT RS6 What if a couple years from now you could ebay an S8 for $40k?
Would a few RS6 parts create the uber 450hp landboat at a similar weight
to the rs6?  Then rebadge to A8 of course:)

Finally WRT the PK samco install; it takes a big man to step up and
admit his own special way of becoming acquainted with local law
enforcement agencies.  10pm installs are a sure sign of too little time
on your hands:)  BTDT
