Here?s a before picture.

Looks good, any difference in ride quality?

Also, the spots in the driveway in the bottom picture are from one of my wife?s friends. She comes to visit on Wednesdays and parks in the driveway.

What does everyone think about whether I should say something or not?

None of my vehicles leak anything but before you know it I?ll have a rather large oil stain in my driveway from her parking her crappy Toyota Camry there.

Yes. Still monkeying with the adjustments. Accidentally started on 3 by mistake and that was way too soft. The truck floated like an old Cadillac. Took it straight up to 7 but it was slightly too stiff and kind of rode like a Camaro. 6 front and back wasn?t too bad but maybe ever so slightly too stiff in the back. I currently have it set at 6 in the front and 5 in the back but I?ll have to drive it a bit to see if that is the sweet spot.

I noticed the stain.

I think its rude & you should say something. I would & have to similar offenders.

It?s the wife?s friend. Maybe I should run it by her and see what she thinks.

Right. You wouldn't want to make her cry on accident by politely asking her to park on the street or to use the provided cardboard & brick.

I have no qualms asking someone with a leaky ass car to please park it on the street. I paid good money for that concrete.

I generally ask them if they know their car is leaking fluids and suggest they have it looked at before it causes more damage. Now please move your POS into the street honey.

You could also put up a barricade on Wednesdays with a "NO LEAKER PARKING" sign.

Just go out there when she's over and duct tape a large sheet of cardboard to the bottom of the car.

I never park in a driveway unless directed to. It strikes me as presumptuous, if not rude.

Honestly, it might not have even occurred to her that it's an issue. Brutal brings up a good point, mention the leak & that it should be checked... blah blah words & more words... she's probably a couple quarts low.

Only guessing though... I'm no expert.
