Reviving this year old thread..great read! Spudracer, that's awesome that you live near Stamford. I grew up a few miles from there and can't wait to finish out my time in TX and move back to the east coast where curvy, tree-lined roads and smooth pavement exist in abundance. The only dealer down here next to the border has messed up my car twice now, so I do all the maintenance myself. I've learned wrenching lessons the hard way several times as a result, but I enjoy the challenge...albeit a bit risky, since it's my daily driver. Hopefully we'll cross paths driving around on the CT roads someday in the near future. Happy driving, and be safe.
