I have a friend who is willing to bring me up there. I told him last night that I don't know if he wants to come and play with the car though, but then again, now I'm not really going to be playing with it so much, just get the engine running and go pretty much after a coupla spins around the block if everthing seems alright. Tire wise, the ones on my 142 currently have held up to some pretty abusive driving/sliding and decent cornering forces even though they're old and have many small visible cracks(I know i'm taking a huge risk... Gotta get some new good tires soon here, mounted on some 15x6 10 spoke 760 Turbo alloys...), and I'll bring a couple of them up with us just in case.

I checked the front end a little bit, didn't shake the wheels firmly by hand yet, I was gonna do that, but yeah, and the driveline, I was gonna check the U joints, but that didn't happen either. I mainly checked the idler arm bushing, cause that's what's messed up on my car, and it sucks... I'll be looking at more things =D.
