KOH appears to be going a little shaky for Matt.

I know right. Hope he has enough time to trial the wrecker and work out the bugs before the event.. Paul as well, kind of in the same boat. They have a month I guess. It should be good.

I may be wrong though, I've never been to Michigan.


Edit: I have been to Michigan,
I flew into Ann Arbor and drove up to a pumped storage plant that was near a ferry that went across the lake.
They wanted to do some upgrades to the plant and I went to scope out the job.
We didn't get the order though. They sent the order to some foreign company.

Bummer, to bad you didn't get the order...comy bastids....

Storage plant in Ann Arbor as well ? Can't think of a lake around there at the moment. Not a city person, haven't been there much. Ann Arbor wasn't that bad for a busy city....right in the city, from what I remember anyway. Clean. Not sure about the out skirts.

Yea, we don't that BS inspection stuff here like the 19 other states in our country. Not sure it's going to last. It was a good thought though. The Dealerships ruined some of that. Some of them finally getting busted now....not enough imo.
Look at what DJ just posted, he can't even be bothered to write measurements down. Didn't explain anything, wasn't going to push for it...just an example. Leads me to believe even more so that some don't provide any kind of print out for the customer either. Just a rating number, what are you suppose to do with that ? No offense to DJ, most likley just doing whats expected.

Like I said, good thought, unfortunately easily abused. They'll find another way eventually/hopefully, 3rd party perhaps or just do away with it completely.

But yea, probably not legal noobs. Not sure what it would say on the ticket. Perhaps a fix-it ticket...lol

i despise 3rd party warranty companies. had a vehicle in here trans is smoked, we price them a new trans and all the hardware and gaskets to replace it. What do they do, turn around and send their own and don't give us any handling allowance.

I had to look in my old notes.
It was in Ludington, MI.

Wonder if it gets cold there or does the lake keep it a bit warmer?
I'm not going top bother looking it up.

Plant is at 43.893022, -86.444899
Most of the facility is underground.

My Buddy and I have talked about it. Not sure if we'll go or not. That price includes being shuttled in and out. We'll see. It's roughly 300 miles from us.
