So I went to LOWES!!!!

As the title says, I went to Lowes with the wife to "Just Look". We where pricing sand. We recently purchased an above ground pool and needed to level the ground. Well sand was $3.00 a bag BUT Top Soil was only $.98. So I told her we should go get the truck. She replied that it was 8:30 and we did not have time to go get the truck. So to make her happy, we brought home 12 40lb bags. That is 480lb total in the trunk of the civic.

It dropped the rear of the car about 3 or 4 inches. Just imagine a 4 in drop for $12.00. Nice.

Re: So I went to LOWES!!!!

omg man, ur MPG just sharply declined for that trip lol... but if she was in the front seat u shoulda asked her to hold like 2-3 bags, cause then the front woulda came down a tad as well for a more even drop, and not a ricer drop, when people only buy lowering springs for the rear of their car lol. But dude u should totally drop it that 3-4 inches!

Re: So I went to LOWES!!!!

^^^Pmd you back.


Well I took the truck yesterday to get a Yard of sand. The dude told me that all my S10 could hold was a 1/2 Yard so we filled the bed up to the top, only cost $10.00, and I was off. Got home and shoveld and leveled and shoveled and raked. It is now level and I am chillin. Here are some pics of the truck with the sand. LOL
