Never go to the dealer if you have a mechanic available..my son just took
his van into the dealer for the 30,000 mile check up and it cost him $326
for nothing more than a basic $ 13.95 Wal-Mart oil change...the rest of the
work was pure bullsh**...paid for shop supplies..check battery,check
water,check wipers and on and on but no real work of any kind done...etc..a
super rip off....do any of you realize that the person taking you car in for
service gets a big commision on any of the repairs that you come in
for...???

Might be time for an under drive balancer and new belts. Balancer is not keyed
and is not a heavy press although some rust may bind it a bit.

Touched down this afternoon in Atlanta Georgia. I’m here for this weekend’s Obsession Fest at the Atlanta Dragway hosted by Obesssion Car Club. I went right to work and shot Edgar’s 64 Impala from Obsession Car Club. Stay tuned for more updates throughout the weekend!
I shot this on the way to the photoshoot.
One of the outakes from the photoshoot.
