I figured there would be more fenders to roll for this as well. :derp:

I think Cathy's baking oatmeal raisin cookies. Water, we got.

I'll pm you my address, Mark. If anyone needs it, lemme know.

Well-played, Drew!

So, we just wrapped up. Didn't get as many fenders rolled as we might have wanted. Mostly due to the fact that it was stupid hot, but also because our most experienced fender roller was trying to work on his suspension.

We had some good sammiches from Jersey Mike's. Got Taylor's alignment done and front bump stops swapped. And I guess rolled fenders on 2.5 cars or something like that. Good day in the Groj!

Now that I've had a chance to clean myself of 5lbs of random car filth...

Thanks Loren for hosting today and all of your fine expertise! Definitely more knowledgeable about doing my own alignment than I was before today.

Car felt great on the ride home. Goes where I point it, rides nice and firm and tracks perfectly straight. Can't beat it.

Excited to see how it does next weekend.

Oh, Loren, I'll bring you some batteries for that flashlight :snicker: :snicker:

Mark, if by some chance you're bringing the Mazda3 out Sunday and need more fender work done, if you want to get the rear up and wheels off that morning, I can probably finish up the roll on it before we get started in the morning.

Sorry we ran out of time.

Thanks Loren for having us over. I just reconfirmed to myself that I can barely drive outside in that heat, let alone work on cars lol but at least my miata is ready for the wheels to be bolted on now.

Taylor no need to apologize, you were a huge help especially considering how busy you were with your own projects. The 3 will likely be there in the morning but it'll probably be tricky to get a heat gun to it, plus I'd like to let you just relax and worry about driving then to jump into another project haha. We'll get it done another time no worries
