Arrived Home from Carlisle 2016 thread

Mr. Man

GAME OVER, YOU LOSE!
Ms D and I got back around 1pm. Uneventful trip back. Had a good time even with the Friday night gremlin that reared it ugly head. Thanks to Comin in Hot for setting up my Saturday appointment to have the car aligned for the second time in a week. Seems the first shop forgot to torque down the RF camber eccentric bolt. I was not a happy camper Friday and he was Cool Hand Luke. I will be having a "discussion" with the first shop Monday.
 
I still want you the take a video when you go back to Ford and explain how their "crack mechanics" forgot to torque down the bolts.
 
12 hour drive back to St Louis

Marauder did a great job of getting us to and from Carlisle for our first time there. Got 18.5 MPG on the highway. That's really good in my experience. We did make a list along the way of the things to do before the next foray. Hope you all got home OK.
We had a good time & came home with a bucket full of Fox Body suspension parts from UPR. And we got lots of advice from our MM friends on how to improve the MMr. Thanks to all.

I made it home early this afternoon. I had a great time this year. I can't wait till next year.

I just did what needed to be done. It wasn't going to get aligned in the parking lot.

Fixed it for you. I wouldn't let our local Ford dealer mechanics work on my ex-mother-in-law's lawn mower after witnessing the (lack of) quality of their work.
