They are fine IMO...had them on now for about 30,000 miles...I saw no need to replace them honestly...
i feel ya...i drive an hr from home to college so it sits out in the neighborhood in the sun and crap weather all day.....so my garage does no help during the day. we in the same boat.

i think most people just get aftermarket shocks so the ride isnt bouncy and is more towards the stiff side
stock shocks tend to blow easier the lower u get too
heck yea. wish i had a mobile garage, then it all be good.
tow with me a giant mobile garage to school everyday and park it inside lmfao

drove to work this morning and it was just raining, came out and there was 4 inches of more snow. WTF. Start the car up and start cleanin snow off, hit the wipers and the driverside blade rips in half. AWESOME. like i don't need that s*** anyways. Finally made it back home, ~10 min trip turned into 45 min. The aftermath:

nice dude!
being at work all night, i drove through 5 inches of snow, since the state of mi doesnt believe in plowing until morning. then, when i left this morning, had another 5 inches on top of the car, and some blown into the wheels. didnt notice until on the highway, my wheels felt very unbalanced. when i got home, i saw there was a bunch inside the wheel on the passenger side of the car.

so... something rather odd and unsusal happened today....
my horn decided to go off and continue going off all on its own... i was in the house... and well my friend came down and said dude ur horn is going off....
i have an alarm... have been having battery problems... but nothing is wired into the horn besides the horn... what could cause that?
