Come to Cleveland!

I have a minor issue...tracking down a A/C leak. I have lodging and gas $$$. The RNC is coming up, so there will be a lot of attractions here.

Robert - if you are near my place you can grab my AC manifold gauges and vacuum pump and send back when done. In NY of course.

A few of the people that contacted me for help, did not confirm. A few didn't plan for work, even though they needed a lot. Not sure what that is all about.

Hey Robert. Just wanted to let you know that the whole reason my schedule with work is uneven at the moment is because back in May I had asked when you might be able to make it up to Eugene, OR, Your best guess was around the second week in June. I asked my work a month in advance for that entire second week off so we could go all-out on the maintenance. Turned out that complications arose later in the tour either with people making you wait for parts or similar, and so your schedule got moved back. I ordered my parts right away and have had them since the last week in May. Unfortunately, by the time the videos were out explaining your location, the week I had asked for was past and can't afford to ask for another group of days off.
I would really still like to work with you Robert as I haven't lost faith! Hopefully you can still make it out here so we can get some good work done! I can't tell you how much I've wanted to be out on the road again since my R has been sitting out of commission, and would definitely appreciate any help.

Thanks, Andrew

If you hit up the Boston area let me know! Have cash&crash. This car needs a full once-over from someone who knows what they're looking at. 99 V70R AWD... except the rear drive shaft is in my garage, so it's FWD... they tell me I need to send it out for repair. I'm trying to figure out what's been modded/bypassed/etc by the seven or eight people who had this thing before me, so that I know what I'm dealing with when something doesn't even remotely resemble the diagram.

I may be just an European, but isn't California and Oregon in the Western part of the US? Just a bit confused from the subject title and then hearing the places Robert is going to.

The US is very confusing. Any thing east of Hawaii is considered East Coast.

The true east coast is considered to be either part of Canada (North), Europe (mid) or ??? South.

Wait, the South is just the South, the land of the Suwannee where pellagra makes you scrawny.

Oh yeah, Robert is San Frisco area. The only people who complain that this isnt what this is called, don't really live there anyway, they live in urban asphalt sprawl like "Mountain View" (the only thing to view there is traffic).

West Coast is everything WEST of the Rockies
