Ok here's what were going to try. Every so often we all run into that one thing we don't have the tools to install or the know how or even the time to. So we cave in and take it to the shop. Well finding a reputable shop these days is like a needle in a haystack. So we're going to start a directory of shops, performance and regular, so if for some reason one of us needs to get a hold of a good shop we can just pull up this directory and find one close to home.
