That will be a good run. You will get a good feel for the car. Just watch your speed. Very easy to do 50 over the limit. Iam sure you don't want to chance losing your car and licence for seven days.

I guess you will be heading east on the 401. Watch your speed from Port Hope thru to past Bellville. 120 to 125 kph they more than likley won't bother you. I drive this part of the highway everyday. Lot's of drivers going faster than that. 130 plus and they will nail you. P.S., watch out for black unmarked Chargers.

Good to hear. The weather is only going to get better. It will be nice not to have to drive the Jeep for awhile

Default Hi

Thanks,

Graphite/ Slate monotone... no pics yet as it stayed clean only for a short time ( poor weather here). Tomorrow is detail day

Just got a Sprint Booster- what a pain in the a** to get the washer out in order to remove the gas pedal- got it out and installed the SB... what a big difference!!! Cost $354CDN (incl. taxes) at new local SB rep (Mississauga) This is about the same (or maybe a little less) than I would have paid online, once delivery and duties were factored in.

As an aside and if anyone is interested, I priced out Michelin Pilot A/Ss and Contis today... they are about the same price ( ~ $800CDN+tax for 4 ) Yokohamas slightly more. How does this compare to other CDN locales?

modulator,

Sorry to hear about you addiction.
Like as not, you will probably never get tired of driving, or looking, at your Crossfire.

Sorry.

Welcome to a great group. LOF
