Seriously, check out the huge STi clunking thread on nasioc. There are a couple of folks who spray teflon on the struts at every oil change and there clunking is gone.

I was so drunk still too. Waking up at 9 had the suck, but man was the night fun.

Did anybody notice the super sick garbage truck in the safeway parking lot or on prarie city at all. It landed in about two off the pics barely. I couldn't make the drive due to work but I thought I would represent in stealth mode. I didn't want to meet all you guys without my car. I was right behind you all when you guys made a u turn on prarie city road. I waved and honked but I think only one of you noticed me. Did any of you guys meet the guy with the white sti. I ran into him saturday and invited him. I felt bad I couldn't show up. Does anybody know his name. Anyway looks way fun I won't miss next time for sure!!!

Ya, I thought he was telling us to slow down.
We did meet the guy with the white STi, but I already forgot his name. Nice guy - I just have a bad memory.
