Merry Christmas to me.....

It came, it finally came!!!
My Stage 1 MTW is here! Now if I only had power at my house or the shop to put it in.....
But who cares, I should be able to R&R it out pretty quick so no more smoking out the traffic following me home anymore. And no more driving my cavalier in these lovely MI snowstorms.

New personal best:
2hrs 10mins, and 20mins was me sittin with a cold one waiting on a fan to cool the turbo off enough so i could finish pulling it out.
I remember the first time i fought with that sucker...guess the easier it gets the more u do it.

Craziejoker you must have been in a garage, because there is no way I would have attempted to do that in today's weather. Freezing rain and snowing sideways!

Good call. I'm assuming you're in the Lansing area with your power outage?
