Vandom is a Quieter Way of Life Now

From the backlog of work in his garage, Cory at Fremont Wheel & Brake doesn't necessarily need any more work, but I'll continue to recommend him anyway. I took Amtrak up to Fremont (there are cheaper ways by bus, but this was easiest) and collected my van this morning, after which I stopped for breakfast at Dino's, where I get breakfast when I can.

In any event, I'm much happier to have a nice quiet and smooth-driving vehicle, and the $520 it cost me seems to be money well spent.
