Anyone in Maryland/Gaithersburg area?

I recently moved down to Gaithersburg, MD and the itch has begun to scratch!

Does anyone have a drip tube/dial indicator I can borrow? I'd like to fiddle with my pump timing/chain stretch this weekend.

Also, can anyone recommend a good shop to have an alignment done? My feet go numb on the way to work

Doug's got an alignment guy...but I didn't get a sheet/confirmation it was a good alignment. I have no reason to doubt it yet, other than the alignment shop had to fix some pretty serious toe issues. All without a UCA, LCA replacement. Doug said they looked fine!

You might be better off paying a dealer if you suspect worn suspension anyhow, and don't want to make the trip to B-more. Not that Doug isn't great.

I don't have a drip tube, but I would like to see your car sometime, sounds insane!
