Good mechanic in Sacramento

I hit a 1.5 ft thick poll laying on highway 5 this morning in beautiful stockton. No, i couldn't avoid it because everyone just kept running it over and i never saw it before it was to late

So, i think i damaged my driveshaft or something in the rear. Horrible vibrations in the rear after 75 mph.

So, who have you guys gone to?

I don't know if Paul does repair work or not... I'm sure if it's nothing major he could. I'm sure he could atleast tell you what's wrong with it

You should also call Caltrans and see if you can find out who was responsible for the poles.

If the poll was not stationary, it's comprehensive. Hint

I'm a dirty *****...

and will do just about anything.

Feel free to bring any Scoobie related problem to me.
If I can help you, I'll give you a fair quote.

If I can't help you, I'll tell you just that, and recommend a few different shops that can.

Well the tire guy at les sheb (can't spell that damn name) said the tire split. So, meh.

This would be a great oppertunity to upgrade the wheels, but i am broke. So, stock is the only option!.

So paul, kind of weird saying that since my fathers name is paul . Can you get stocker 16 RS wheels?
