Home before 2pm. Left front is making some hellaceous noises; I'm suspecting a wheel bearing has crapped the bed. Haven't had the motivation to get it up off the ground to check.
Fun CougarFest. I like these new events with a small amount of people; makes the personal interaction a lot more enjoyable when everyone does everything together.

Was home by 11:20 A, and getting hugs from the boys and making lunch by 11:35 A. Sorry I missed breakfast, but couldn't wait to get back. Car drove great on both legs of the drive, was getting better than 31 mpg according to the computer on the highway coming back. (Then it broke it's sunroof in the rain this morning, what you gonna do?)
Second Andy's point, and wished I could have been there for the Friday events.

I know I speak for Whitney and myself it was really tough missing out first Cougarfest in 6 years, but hopefully schedules align better next year (and it wouldn't hurt if it were a bit closer to Pittsburgh either 
Hope everyone had fun, and hopefully we'll see everyone next year, wherever it may be!!!

Yeah, and if we co-ordinate the right weekend, I know BeaverRun has Auto-X, and there are a few Dragstrips north of Pittsburgh too.
I think a good area to stay would be Wexford/Cranberry area, which would have easy access to basically everything.
Sounds like I should start researching now!!:biggrin:
NOW WE'RE TALKING.
Oh, I finally got the thing off the ground last night to see if I could find what was making all the noise. I didn't see anything weird at all, and everything felt tight - but the axle nut was VERY EASY to remove, so I think it was loose, which was allowing the wheel bearing to thrash around, as it was very sloppy. When I torques the axle nut back down to over 200, the bearing was tight again.
Haven't driven it yet to see if that helped, but I'll probably be driving it to work tomorrow.
