Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

Did the clowns at the dealership lube the brake pad slides with silcone
grease and put anti-squeel goop on the backsides of the pads?

Jacked it up and looked.. and nope.. no anit-squeel.. so I would imagine no
silicone either. All I have to say is I am VERY glad I am done with those
f.ckers... and everyone I talk to will know as well... seeing as though I
am a memeber of the local F-body group here in town... we have about 30+
actual members with cars.. and about another 35 people that hang out and
just have fun. But within the group, there is enough tie-ins with shops
and such that there will be atleast a small dent in that dealership's
reputation. And just ran my 02 and got a 13.81 stock with street tires
and a FULL tank of gas... so for a stock car I'm pretty happy with how its
starting out. I have a few mods in mind in the future..just have to start
saving up so I can afford them.
