"fixed" my car in the hotel parking lot last night.
wanted to find some alignment shims, but no parts places sell them, so rather than look for tire shops and walk around the parking lot looking for some, i bought some washers and a hacksaw, cut enough of the washer out to slip around the motor mount stud.

then. jack car up with floor jack, use chris' stock scissor jack under the trans. loosen drivers mount, and lower car onto scissor jack. tape 3 washers together so they dont slip apart, and pry the mount up and slide them in. got them in, steering shaft clears, went for some passes down the road and seems fine.

back to deals gap and devils triangle today.
cars are stupid.
