The APR plus thing looks interesting but no dealerships anywhere near here that do it. I cant be bothered.... local dealer has good prices, and driving all the way the fuck to Lorton for the APR shop is bad enough.
Part of the deal with the sale of the A4 was that I'd install the rear brakes that I have sitting here in a box, plus have it detailed. I head over to use jayray's garage tonight and this fucking car gives me one last kick in the nuts. Wheels off, rotate them, rear brakes (pads and rotors) go on with no fuss, I didnt even have to drill out the rotor screws, I was smart and brought a impact driver. Put the wheels back on, get the fronts torqued up, and the rears... dont torque on 4 out of the 10 bolts. The bolt tightens and then spins. All the fucks. I dont even know how this happens.
I'm planning on going out of town this weekend, and the car leaves with the shipping company next week so in the interest of time and not leaving a stranded car in jayray's garage i had it towed to a local indy shop I use sometimes. The same shop is the only one thats had the wheels off in the past 2 years for new tires or rotating them at oil changes, but I dont know if this is anything they did but we'll have a talk about it. I dont know if the fix is chasing the hub with a tap, a timesert, or a new hub. I guess I'll find out in the morning. Either way it has to be 100% right to go to a new owner and I guess I cant blow the $200 gift card I have in my wallet on hookers.
