Gee Kurt, you sound bitter
 

I work on my car because I can. And because most of the time, "professionals" care as much about my car as you apparently do about "shotgun ho's". Lowering the tail by an inch or so will affect the alignment minimally, and yes, I will probably have it aligned on an alignment rack in a shop.

For the record, my wife (we're still married since Oct '84, dating since '79, three kids - 18, 14 & 12) is all over me about getting "her" cabriolet because she has to drive the F150 Supercrew. There are quality women out there, you just have to be the kind of guy they appreciate.

BTW, I got the thin wrench, worked like a charm.

Wayne is right. Most guys get married for one of two reasons.

1. The chick is hot and all my friends are envious that I am gettin it from such a looker so I guess I can live with the "subtle" flaws in her character.

2. This is the hottest chick I have ever dated (though not my dream girl) so I guess this is as good as I'm gonna do. And I have to get married sometime so...

Note the emphasis on looks, some guys will never understand. My friends (single ofcourse) say their wife must be drop dead, and they shouldn't have to "settle". Yet over and over they "settle" on girlfriends who are complete idiots with silicone enhancements or have severe mental issues. It makes my head hurt.

Marry a friend or don't get married, either choice is fine. IMHO

Also thanks for the tip on the wrench I am off right now to get one.

Outstanding advice, Len
