You still haven't fixed that??? Take it to Costco and have them rebalanced. It's not expensive...

Dude, it costed me maybe $120 - not including first fill;
lets add an extra tank of gas = $160;
lets then double it taking into consideration you're going to use the same amount of gas coming back = $320
you can now factor in the cost of re-balancing your tires so that you can safely drive locally too boot, and you're good ~ plus you will have a way to get around calgary without taxi or renting a car to boot!!

BUT!!! ~ if you can get one to three more people to come with you, you can split the gas bill and be traveling on the uber-cheap... you could even post on kijiji to find people who might be interested in car pooling with you to & from.

Flight is generally more money - but supposed to be faster/more convenient... trouble is that 911 removed pretty much ALL of the convenience factor from flights...

so what do you guys think. Should I sell all my stock stuff? or keep it in case i ever go back to stock. I could use the cash towards HP tuners. I have:
Stock endplate
downpipe
exhaust manifold
pulley
pillar pod
belt
tranny mount
valve cover
a glow shift wide band (no O2 sensor)
fuel injectors and harness
also have the arm rest inserts for (the silver pices that hold the window mirror and lock switches)

Honestly you'd maybe get 100 bucks for all that if you were even able to sell it all. Stock LSJ stuff is not typically worth much and hard to sell. Might as well keep it. From experience its best to keep your stock stuff. You never know.

X2. I have everything stock for my car still. It isn't worth crap and if I ever sell the car it's going back to stock.

The aftermarket parts are better off to sell if and when you sell your car. Keep the stock. Not worth the grime or effort to sell them.

man he's playing both sides;

he was saying he's broke, but opting for the most expensive way of traveling.
driving would be cheaper - and finding passengers would make driving even cheaper (assuming he has no friends going to said gig; and this is where some assemblance of discerning the nut-jobs from the cool people comes in... I'm pretty good at gauging the good from the bad...)
