	how much was it for a new ball joint?  and did you do the labour
yourself, or did you get someone else to do it?  i still have to find out
for sure if it is my ball joint that is fucked, but all evidence seems to
suggest that that is indeed the case.

	the scrietta is doing nicely, thankyou.  i just did two untimed
quarter mile runs with this dude i met two hours ago that has an
absolutely gorgeous 2-door like mine.  only his is painted, has euro
bumpers, euro side markers, power recaros, fuba...the list goes on and on.

	oh yeah, he's got a 2.0L 8V with a 272 degree cam.  he's as cool
as fuck.  dub nut that likes to thrash his car (like someone else i know),
and was convinced that his car was super fast.  in fact, he had me pretty
worried, so i took the box out of my trunk, but in some octance boost,
and made sure that my little ram-air thingamabobber was pointed dirctly
into my airbox.

	the anticipation grew until it was time to race and we lined it
up.  at this time i realized that we didn't have someone to flag us down
the track.  so he suggested that we roll at the same speed in first to a
pole and drop the hammer.  we did, and i swear to fucking god, owen, i
beat this guy by 10 fucking cars!  we did it twice.  we're side-by-side in
first, then as soon as i drop second on him, the game is over!  i must
make about 5 cars on second gear alone.  anyways,i'm not mocking the guy
at all.  it was a good race, and his car looks flawless.  i'm so impressed
with the work that he has put into that little monster.  anyways, that' my
story for the night....
